Electronic immobiliser
EWS
The on-board electronics access
the data saved in the vehicle key
via a ring aerial in the R/C ignition
lock. The ignition is not enabled
for starting until the engine con-
trol unit has recognised the igni-
tion key as "authorised" for your
motorcycle.
NOTICE
A spare 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 starting is not issued. The
EWS
warning appears in the
multifunction display.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose your key, you
can have it barred by your
BMW Motorrad authorised
dealer. If you wish to do this, you
will need to bring all other keys
for the motorcycle with you.
The engine cannot be started
by a barred ignition key, but an
ignition key that has been barred
can subsequently be reactivated.
You can obtain emergency/ex-
tra keys only through an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer. The
ignition keys are part of an in-
tegrated security system, so the
dealer is under an obligation to
check the legitimacy of all applic-
ations for replacement/extra keys.
