Ambient temperature

When the motorcycle is stopped,
z
the engine heat can falsify the
measurement of the ambient
temperature 1. If the influence
of the engine heat becomes too
great, is temporarily shown in
--
the display.
If the ambient temperature
drops below 3 °C, a warn-
ing of possible icing-up appears.
The display automatically switch-
es from any other mode to the
temperature reading when the
temperature drops below this
threshold for the first time.
Range
The functional description of
the operating range (
so applies to the range. How-
ever, the range 1 can also be
displayed before the fuel re-
serve is reached. To calculate
the range, a special average con-
sumption is used, which does not
always match the value that can
be shown on the display.
If the motorcycle is standing on
the side stand, the fuel level can-
not be correctly determined due
to the inclined position. For this
reason the range is only calculat-
ed while driving.
When refueling after running on
reserve, make sure that you top
up the tank to a level above re-
serve, as otherwise the sensor
will not be able to register the
new level. Otherwise neither the
fill level nor the range display can
be updated.
The determined range is an
approximate reading. BMW
50) al-
Motorrad therefore recommends
that you do not try to use the full
range before refueling.
