warning triangle with more than
one message.
Additional information is display
when a message is selected.
Detailed information can-
not be displayed for all
warnings.
Special functions
Due to integration of the
BMW Motorrad Navigator, there
are a number of differences from
the descriptions in the instruction
manual for the Navigator.
Reserve fuel level warning
The settings for the fuel gauge
are not available, as the reserve
warning is being transferred from
the vehicle to the Navigator. If
the message is active, the near-
est filling stations are displayed
when the message is pressed.
Time and Date
The Navigator sends the time
and date to the motorcycle.
Transfer of this data into the
instrument cluster must be
activated in the
SETUP
menu of
the instrument cluster.
Security settings
The BMW Motorrad Navigator V
can be secured against unau-
thorized use with a four-digit PIN
(Garmin Lock). When this func-
tion is activated, once the Navi-
gator GPS receiver is cradled on
the motorcycle and the ignition
is switched on you will receive
a prompt asking whether the
motorcycle should be added to
the list of secure vehicles. If you
answer "Yes" to this question,
the Navigator saves the vehicle
identification number (VIN) of this
motorcycle in its internal mem-
ory.
A maximum of five VINs can be
saved in this way.
When the Navigator is subse-
quently switched on by switching
on the ignition on one of those
motorcycles, entry of the PIN is
no longer necessary.
If the Navigator is removed from
the motorcycle while switched
on, a security prompt asking for
the PIN to be entered is issued.
Screen brightness
Screen brightness is adjusted
by the motorcycle while the unit
is cradled. No manual input is
necessary.
The automatic setting can be
switch off in the display settings
in the Navigator if desired.
