Range
The range indicates the
travel distance available
with the remaining fuel. The av-
erage consumption employed
to calculate the remaining travel
range does not appear in the dis-
play and may vary from the indi-
cated average consumption.
You must put at least five liters of
fuel into the fuel tank for the new
level to be registered correctly.
If the sensor cannot register the
new level the range display can-
not be updated.
If the motorcycle is standing on
its side stand, the motorcycle's
inclined position will prevent the
fuel level from being registered
accurately. For this reason travel
range is only calculated with the
side stand retracted.
The determined range is
an approximate reading.
BMW Motorrad therefore recom-
mends that you do not try to use
the full range before refueling.
Ambient temperature
Engine heat can lead to
spurious readings of ambi-
ent temperature when the mo-
torcycle is stationary. When the
effects of engine heat on the
monitored temperature become
excessive the display responds
by temporarily reverting to
--
as
the display reading.
If the ambient temperature
drops below 37 °F (3 °C),
this warning of possible icing-
up appears. The display auto-
matically switches from any other
mode to the temperature read-
ing when the temperature drops
below this threshold for the first
time.
Oil level indicator
The oil-level indicator gives
you an indication of the en-
gine oil level.
The conditions for the oil level
indicator are as follows:
Engine at operating tempera-
ture.
Engine idling for at least ten
seconds.
Side stand retracted.
Motorcycle is vertical.
