Turn key to position 1 while

Electronic immobilizer
(EWS)
The motorcycle's electronic
circuitry monitors the data stored
in the ignition key through a
ring antenna incorporated in the
steering and ignition lock. The
engine management system
does not enable engine starting
until this key is recognized as
"authorized" for your motorcycle.
A further key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
EWS
warning is shown in the
multifunction display.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the ignition key.
If you lose your vehicle key, you
can have it disabled by your au-
thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
When having a key disabled you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining keys with
you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled key;
however, a disabled key can be
enabled again.
Emergency and spare keys are
only available through an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
The keys are part of an inte-
grated security system, so the
retailer is under an obligation to
check the legitimacy of all ap-
plications for replacement/extra
keys.

Attempting to set the clock
