If the vehicle covers long dis-
tances in the course of the year,
under certain circumstances it
might be necessary to have it
serviced at a date in advance
of the forecast due date. If the
countdown distance to the odo-
meter reading at which a service
will be due is less than 1000 km,
the distance is counted down in
steps of 100 km
2 and is shown
briefly after the Pre-Ride Check
completes.
If service is overdue, the
due date or the odometer
reading at which service was due
is accompanied by the 'Gener-
al' warning light showing yellow.
The word "Service" remains per-
manently visible.
If the service-due indicator
appears more than a month
before the service date, the date
saved in the instrument cluster
must be adjusted. This situation
can occur if the battery was dis-
connected for a prolonged period
of time.
If you want to have the date set
consult a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.

a standstill the heat of the
engine can falsify the ambient-
temperature reading. If the effect

If ambient temperature drops be-
low 3 °C the temperature dis-
play flashes to draw your atten-
tion to the risk of black ice form-
ing. The display automatically
switches from any other mode
to the temperature reading when
the temperature drops below this
threshold for the first time.
