played by means of warning
lights or by texts and symbols
in the multifunction display.
In some cases, they are ac-
companied by the 'General'
warning light showing red or

appear.

An ice warning
appears if the ambient-

automatically switches from any other mode to the
temperature reading when the
temperature drops below this
threshold for the first time.
The reading flashes until you

mode.
RangeThe description of the
residual-range function
( 49) also covers the
residual-range readout.
You can also view range

before the fuel level drops
to reserve. A special
average-consumption figure is used to calculate range;
this figure is not necessarily
the same as the value you
can call up for viewing on the
display.
The calculated range
is only an approximate
reading. Consequently, BMW
Motorrad recommends that
you should not try to use the
full range before refuelling.
