The on-board electronics access
the data saved in the radio-op-
erated key via a ring aerial in the
R/C ignition lock. The ignition is
not enabled for starting until the
engine control unit has recog-
nised the radio-operated key as
"authorised" for your motorcycle.
NOTICE
A spare vehicle key attached to
the same ring as the radio-oper-
ated key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
warning with the key symbol ap-
pears in the multifunction display.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the radio-operated
key.
If you mislay a radio-operated key
you can have the key in ques-
tion barred by your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. In order
to have a key barred you must
bring along all the other keys be-
longing to the motorcycle.
The engine cannot be started
by a barred radio-operated key,
but a radio-operated 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
radio-operated keys are part of
an integrated security system, so
the dealer is under an obligation
to check the legitimacy of all ap-
plications for replacement/extra
keys.
