Electronic immobiliser
EWS
The on-board electronics access
the data saved in the ignition key
via a ring aerial in the ignition
lock. The ignition is not enabled
for starting until the engine con-
trol unit has recognised the key
as "authorised" for your motor-
cycle.
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the ig-
nition key used to start the en-
gine could "irritate" the electron-
ics, 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 mislay a key you can have
the key in question barred by
your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer. In order to have a key
barred you must bring along all
the other keys belonging to the
motorcycle.
The engine cannot be started by
a barred key, but a key that has
been barred can subsequently be
reactivated.
You can obtain replacement/extra
keys only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys
are part of an integrated security
system, so the dealer is under an
obligation to check the legitimacy
of all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.
