Cruise controlOE
d Warning:
Do not engage cruise control
when:
– Riding on twisty roads with poor forward vision
– Heavy traffic does not per-
mit you to maintain a con-
stant road speed
– Riding on wet, unpaved or dirty roads
The motorcycle might exceed
your chosen cruise control
speed if the engine's braking
effect is insufficient on a
downhill gradient. It could
also drop below this speed
when you ride uphill.
For safety reasons, always
keep both hands on the han-
dlebars.
L Note:
With automatic cruise control,
speed can be controlled in the
range between 40 and
160 km/h (25 and 100 mph).
When the motorcycle is at a
standstill and – ignition OFF –
the system is switched off and
the stored road speed is can-
celled.
The telltale light for cruise con-
trol is off.
On a motorcycle fitted with
BMW Integral ABS, the cruise-
control system is not operation-
al if the brake light is defective
(red general warning light
e
ON
b 78).
