ASC interventionGeneral warning light quick-
flashes yellow.
ASC symbol appears on
the display.
The ASC has detected a degree
of instability at the rear wheel
and has intervened to reduce
torque. The warning light flashes
for longer than ASC intervention
lasts. This affords the rider visual
feedback on control intervention
even after the critical situation
has been dealt with.
Self-diagnosis not completed ASC symbol flashes.
Self-diagnosis did not complete,
so the ASC function is not avail-
able. The engine must be run-
ning and the motorcycle must
reach a speed of at least 5 km/h
in order for ASC self-diagnosis to
complete. Pull away slowly. Bear in mind
that the ASC function is not
available until self-diagnosis has
completed.
ASC switched off ASC symbol appears on
the display.
The rider has switched off the
ASC system.

outside the permissible tolerance
range, the 'General' warning light
flashes red.

Tyre pressure close to limit
of permitted toleranceGeneral warning light shows
yellow.
Tyre symbol appears on
the display.
The critical tyre pressure flashes.
Measured tyre pressure is close
to the limit of permitted toler-
ance. Correct the tyre pressure as
stated on the inside cover of
the Rider's Manual.
The tyre-pressures listed
on the inside cover are
temperature-compensated; the
reference tyre temperature for
these readings is always 20 °C.
The procedure for correcting tyre
pressures when the tyres are not
at this reference temperature is
as follows:
Calculate the difference between
the specified value stated in the
Rider's Manual and the reading shown by the RDC system. Use
the public air line at a petrol sta-
tion or motorway service area to
adjust the tyre pressure by this
amount.
Tyre pressure outside
permitted tolerance
General warning light
flashes red.
Tyre symbol appears on
the display.
The critical tyre pressure flashes.
Measured tyre pressure is out-
side permitted tolerance. Check the tyre for damage and
to ascertain whether the mo-
torcycle can be ridden with the
tyre in its present condition.
If the motorcycle can be ridden
with the tyre in its present condi-
tion:
Incorrect tyre pressures im-
pair the motorcycle's hand-
ling characteristics. If tyre pressure is incorrect it is
essential to adapt your style of
riding accordingly.
Correct the tyre pressure at the
earliest possible opportunity.
Have the tyre checked for
damage by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
If you are unsure whether the
motorcycle can be ridden with
the tyre in its present condition: Do not continue your journey.
Notify the breakdown service.
Have the tyre checked for
damage by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.

338zStatus indicators

The motorcycle has not yet ac-
celerated past the threshold of
approximately 30 km/h. The
RDC sensors do not start trans-
mitting signals until the motor-
cycle reaches a speed above this
threshold ( 86).Increase speed above this
threshold and observe the RDC
readings. Assume that a per-
manent fault has not occurred
unless the 'General' warning
light comes on to accompany
the symptoms. Under these
circumstances:
Have the fault rectified by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Wireless communication with the
RDC sensors has been disrupted.
Possible causes include radio-
communication systems operat-
ing in the vicinity and interfering with the link between the RDC
control unit and the sensors.
Move to another location and
observe the RDC readings. As-
sume that a permanent fault
has not occurred unless the
'General' warning light comes
on to accompany the symp-
toms. Under these circum-
stances:
Have the fault rectified by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
