The key being used is not au-
thorised for starting, or commu-
nication between key and engine
electronics is disrupted. Remove all other vehicle keys
from the same ring as the igni-

Use the reserve key.
Have the defective key re-

Fuel down to reserve General warning light shows
yellow.
FUEL !
appears on the display.
Lack of fuel can result in
the engine misfiring and
cutting out unexpectedly. Mis-
firing can damage the catalytic
converter; a hazardous situation can result if the engine cuts out
unexpectedly.
Do not run the fuel tank dry.
The fuel tank contains no more
than the reserve quantity of fuel.

Refuelling ( 79)
Coolant temperature too high General warning light shows
red.
The temperature reading
flashes.
Continuing to ride when the
engine is overheated could
result in engine damage.
You must comply with the in-
structions below. The coolant temperature is too
high.
If possible, ride in the part-load
range to cool down the engine.
In traffic jams, switch off the
engine, but leave the ignition
switched on so that the radiat-
or fan continues to operate.
If the coolant temperature is
frequently too high, have the
fault rectified as soon as pos-
sible by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Engine in emergency-
operation mode General warning light shows
yellow.
Engine symbol appears on
the display.

Residual rangeResidual-range reading appears
accompanied by the wordRANGE
and indicates how
far you can ride with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This
reading is not displayed until fuel
level has dropped to reserve.
This distance is calculated on the
basis of fuel level and average
consumption.
When you refuel, the increase in
fuel level is not registered unless
several litres are added to the
fuel already in the tank.
When refuelling after running on
reserve, make sure that you top

Average consumption is reset
to zero.
RangeThe description of the residual-
range function ( 49) also cov-
ers the range readout. You can
also view range 1before the fuel
level drops to reserve. A special
average-consumption figure is
used to calculate range; this fig-
ure is not necessarily the same
as the value you can call up for
viewing on the display.
When the motorcycle is propped
on its side stand the slight angle
of inclination means that the
sensor cannot register the fuel
level correctly. This is the reason
why the range is calculated only when the motorcycle is on the
move.
When refuelling 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 neither the
fuel-level reading nor the range
readout can be updated.
The calculated range is only
an approximate reading.
Consequently, BMW Motorrad
recommends that you should not
try to use the full range before
refuelling.
