Page: 49 / 279

NOTICE
This error message shows briefly
only after the Pre-Ride-Check
completes.
Possible cause:
The integral battery in the anti-
theft alarm has lost its entire ori-
ginal capacity. There is no as-
surance that the anti-theft alarm
will be operational if the vehicle's
battery is disconnected.
Seek the advice of a specialist
workshop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad Retailer.
Electronic oil-level check
The electronic oil-level
check assesses the oil level
in the engine with
OK
or
Low!
The following preconditions have
to be satisfied for electronic
oil-level checking, and several
measurements might have to be
taken:
Rider is sitting on the vehicle
and vehicle has just been rid-
den at a speed of at least 10
km/h.
Engine idling for at least 20
seconds.
Engine is at operating tempera-
ture.
Side stand is retracted and
vehicle is not propped on its
centre stand.
No brake applied and Hill Start
Control (HSC) is not active.
Vehicle is standing upright on a
smooth, level surface.
The spring strut is appropri-
ately set for the load status,
or D-ESA is in the Auto load
mode.
If measurement is incomplete or
if these conditions are not met,
the oil level cannot be judged
by the system. Dashes (
---
)
appear on the display instead of
a reading.
Electronic oil-level check:
check the engine oil level.
Engine oil level
Check engine oil
level.
Possible cause:
The electronic oil-level sensor
has registered a low oil level. If
the vehicle is not standing up-
right on a smooth, level surface,
the message might appear even
though the oil level is correct.
The next time you stop for fuel:
Checking engine oil level
(
169).
If the oil level in the sight glass is
too low:
Topping up the engine oil
(
170).
If the oil level is correct:
