Hazard Warning Flashers - BMW R 1200 ST User Manual

In-key security
3
An electronic component is
integrated into each of your
34
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 motor-
cycle.
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the en-
gine could "irritate" the elec-
tronics, in which case the
enabling signal for starting is
not issued. The EWS warning
is displayed in the multifunc-
tion display.
Always keep the spare key
separate from the ignition
key.c
Replacement and extra
keys
You can obtain replacement/
extra keys only through an
authorized BMW motorcycle
retailer. The keys are part of an
integrated security system, so
the retailer is under an obliga-
tion to check the legitimacy of
all applications for replace-
ment/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.
