EWS Electronic
immobilizer
The motorcycle's electronics
monitor the data stored in the
radio-operated key through a
ring antenna in the radio-oper-
ated lock. The engine control
unit does not enable an engine
start until the radio-operated key
has been recognized as "autho-
rized" for your motorcycle.
NOTICE
An additional radio-operated key
attached to the same ring as the
radio-operated 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 radio-operated
keys separate from each other.
If you lose a radio-operated key,
you can have it disabled by your
authorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer. When having a key dis-
abled you should also bring all of
the motorcycle's remaining keys
with you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled radio-
operated key; however, a dis-
abled radio-operated key can be
enabled again.
Spare keys are available
only through an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer. As the
radio-operated keys are part of
an integrated safety system, the
retailer is under an obligation to
check your legitimacy.
