If the vehicle covers long dis-
tances in the course of the year,
under certain circumstances it
might be necessary to have it
serviced at a date in advance
of the forecast due date. If the
countdown distance to the early
service is less than 1000 km, the
countdown distance
1 appears
on the display in steps of 100
km. It is shown briefly after the
Pre-Ride-Check completes.
If service is overdue, the
due date or the odometer
reading at which service was due
is accompanied by the 'Gener-
al' warning light showing yellow.
The word "Service" remains per-
manently visible.
NOTICE
If the service-due indicator ap-
pears more than a month before
the service date, the date saved
in the instrument cluster must
be adjusted. This situation can
occur if the battery was discon-
nected for a prolonged period of
time.
If you want to have the date
set consult a specialist work-
shop, preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Ambient temperature

If the outside temperature
drops below 3 °C the tem-
perature display flashes to draw
your attention to the risk of black
ice forming. The display auto-
matically switches from any other
mode to the temperature read-
ing when the temperature drops
below this threshold for the first
time.
When the motorcycle is at a
standstill the heat of the engine
can falsify the ambient-tempera-
ture reading. If the effect of the
engine's heat becomes excess-
ive, "

the display.

face.
