active
The "General" warning light
shows yellow.
The electronic immobil-
iser warning symbol is dis-
played.
Possible cause:
The key being used is not au-
thorised for starting, or commu-
nication between key and engine
electronics is disrupted.
Remove all other vehicle keys
from the same ring as the igni-
tion key.
Use spare key.
Have the defective key re-
placed, preferably by an au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer.
Fuel down to reserve
The fuel warning light illu-
minates.
A shortage of fuel can res-
ult in misfires. This can
cause the engine to switch off
unexpectedly (risk of accident)
and damage the catalytic con-
verter.
Do not run the fuel tank dry.
Possible cause:
The fuel tank contains no more
than the reserve quantity of fuel.
Reserve fuel
approx. 4 l
Refuel ( 86).
Engine in emergency-
operation mode
The "General" warning light
shows yellow.
The engine symbol appears
on the display.
The engine is running in
emergency operating mode.
Unusual engine response is a
possibility.
Adapt your style of riding accord-
ingly. Avoid accelerating sharply
and overtaking.
Possible cause:
The engine control unit has dia-
gnosed a fault. In exceptional
cases, the engine stops and re-
fuses to start. Otherwise, the en-
gine runs in emergency operating
mode.
You can continue to ride, but
bear in mind that the usual en-
gine performance might not be
available.
Avoid high load and rpm
ranges if possible.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
