EWS ELECTRONIC IMMOBI-
LIZER
The motorcycle's electronics
monitor the data stored in the
ignition key by means of a ring
antenna. The engine control
unit does not enable engine
start until this radio-operated
key has been recognized as
"authorized" for your motorcy-
cle.
An additional ignition key
attached to the same ring
as the ignition key used to start
the engine could "irritate" the
electronics, in which case the
enabling signal for the engine
start is not issued.
Always keep the ignition keys
separate from each other.
If you lose an ignition key, you
can have it disabled by your
authorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer.
For this purpose, you should
also bring all of the motorcy-
cle's remaining vehicle keys
with you. The engine can no
longer be started using a dis-
abled radio-operated key; how-
ever, a disabled radio-operated
key can be enabled again.
Spare keys are available
only through an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer. The
ignition keys are part of an
integrated safety system, so
the retailer is under obligation
to check the legitimacy of all
applications for spare keys.
