Hazard Warning Flashers - BMW K 1200 R Rider's Manual

In-key security
3
An electronic component is
integrated into each of your
36
keys. The motorcycle's elec-
tronics exchange certain con-
tinuously changing signals
with the electronics in the key;
these signals are specific to
your motorcycle and they are
transmitted via the ring aerial
in the ignition lock. The ignition
is not enabled for starting until
the key has been recognized
as "authorized" for your
motorcycle.
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the
ignition key used to start the
engine could "irritate" the
electronics, in which case the
enabling signal for starting is
not issued. The warning
"EWS" is displayed in the
multifunction display.
Always keep the spare key
separate from the ignition
key.c
Replacement and extra
keys
You can obtain replacement
keys only through an autho-
rized BMW motorcycle retailer.
The keys are part of an inte-
grated security system, so the
retailer is under an obligation
to check the legitimacy of all
applications for replacement/
extra keys.
If you want to have a lost key
barred, you must bring along
all the keys that belong to the
motorcycle. A key that has
been barred can subsequently
be cleared and reactivated for
use.
