Anti-theft alarm battery discharged
with anti-theft alarm system (DWA) OE
Symbol for DWA battery is displayed.
This fault message is only shown for a
short time immediately following the
Pre-Ride-Check.
Possible cause:
The DWA battery no longer has any charging
capacity. Operation of the DWA is no longer
guaranteed when the vehicle battery is dis-
connected.
Contact a specialist workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Fuel reserve
The fuel quantity in the fuel tank when the
low-fuel warning light switches on depends
on the driving dynamics. The more the fuel
moves around in the fuel tank (due to fre-
quent changes of leaning angle, frequent
braking and acceleration), the harder it is
to accurately determine the reserve volume.
For this reason, the reserve volume cannot
be indicated precisely.
After the low-fuel warning light is
switched on, the distance recorder for
the reserve volume
TRIP R
is displayed.
The distance that can still be traveled with
the reserve volume depends on the driving
style (i.e. on the consumption) and on the
fuel quantity that was still available when the
light switched on.
The distance recorder for the reserve
volume is reset once the fuel quantity after
refueling is greater than the reserve volume.
Fuel has reached reserve volume
General warning light lights up.
Symbols for reserve volume and dis-
tance recorder
TRIP R
are displayed.
