Range; Ambient Temperature - BMW K 1300 S Rider's Manual

Range

The range 1 indicates what dis-
tance can still be driven with the
remaining fuel. This distance is
calculated based on fuel level
and average consumption.
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. If the sensor cannot
register the new level the range
display cannot be updated.
If the motorcycle is standing on
its side stand, the motorcycle's
inclined position will prevent the
fuel level from being registered
accurately. For this reason travel
range is only calculated with the
side stand retracted.
The determined range is an
approximate reading. BMW
Motorrad therefore recommends
that you do not try to use the full
range before refueling.
without onboard computer
The travel-range display does not
appear until the remaining fuel
falls to the reserve level.
with onboard computer
The average consumption
employed to calculate the
remaining travel range does not
appear in the display and may
vary from the indicated average
consumption.

Ambient temperature

with onboard computer
Engine heat can lead to spurious
readings of ambient temperature
when the motorcycle is station-
ary. When the effects of engine
heat on the monitored tempera-
ture become excessive the dis-
play responds by temporarily
reverting to
OE
reading.
When ambient temper-
atures drop below 37°F
(3°C) the temperature display
OE
responds by flashing a warning
indicating possible ice formation
on the road surface. The display
automatically switches from any
other mode to the temperature
reading when the temperature
drops below this threshold for
the first time.
