Equipment
When you ordered your MaxiScooter, you chose various items
of custom equipment. This Rider's Manual describes optional
equipment (OE) offered by BMW
and selected optional accessories
(OA). This explains why the manual may also contain descriptions
of equipment which you have not
ordered. Please note, too, that
your vehicle might not be exactly
as illustrated in this manual on
account of country-specific differences.
If your Scooter is equipped with
options or accessories not described in this Rider's Manual,
then this equipment is described
in separate operating instructions.
Technical data
All dimensions, weights and outputs in the Rider's Manual refer
to the Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. (DIN) and comply with
its tolerance regulations. Versions for individual countries may
differ.
Notice concerning current status
The high safety and quality
standards of BMW Scooters
are maintained by constant
development work on designs,
equipment and accessories.
Because of this, your vehicle
may differ from the information
supplied in the Rider's Manual. In
addition, BMW Motorrad cannot
guarantee the total absence
of errors. We hope you will
appreciate that no claims can be
entertained on the basis of the
data, illustrations or descriptions
in this manual.

display. The "Service" message
is displayed continuously.
If the service display
appears more than a month
before the service date, the
stored date must be adjusted
in the instrument cluster. This
situation can occur if the battery
was disconnected.
If the vehicle covers high annual
mileages then shorter service intervals may be required. When
the odometer reading for the recalculated early service falls to
within 621 miles (1000 km), the
remaining miles (kilometers) 2
are counted down in 62-mile
(100-km) increments and briefly
displayed following the pre-ride
check.
When a service date
elapses without service, the
universal warning lamp lights up
in yellow, appearing together with
the date and mileage (kilometer)
Distance covered since the fuel reached the reserve level
After reaching the fuel reserve
quantity, the kilometers covered
since this point in time are indicated 1 with the 2 symbol. This
odometer is reset and no longer
appears as soon as the tank is
refueled to a level higher than the
reserve level.
Ambient temperature
When ambient temper-
atures drop below 37°F
(3°C) the temperature display
responds by flashing a warning
indicating possible ice formation
on the road surface. The display
automatically switches from any
other mode to the temperature
reading when the temperature
drops below this threshold for
the first time.
Tire inflation pressures
with Tire Pressure Control
(TPC/RDC)
OE
The displayed tire inflation pressures refer to a tire temperature
of 68 °F (20 °C). The figure on
the left side 1 indicates the front
tire's inflation pressure, while the
figure on the right 2 shows the
inflation pressure in the rear tire.
Immediately after switching on
the ignition, "--:--" is displayed, as the transfer of the inflation pressure values does not
begin until a speed of 19 mph
(30 km/h) is exceeded for the first
time.

the symbol 3 is also displayed,
then a warning indicator is
concerned. The upper arrow
next to the tire symbol indicates
a problem at the front wheel,
and the lower arrow indicates a
problem at the rear wheel.
Additional information on the
BMW Motorrad Tire Pressure
Monitor is provided starting on
page ( 64).
Oil level indicator
The oil level indicator 1 provides
information on the oil level in the
engine. It can only be displayed
when the vehicle is stopped.
The conditions for the oil level
indicator are as follows:
Engine at operating temperature.
Engine idling for at least ten
seconds.
Side-stand retracted.
Scooter is positioned vertically.
The possible displays at position 2 mean:
OK: Oil level correct.
CHECK: Check oil level during
next refueling stop.
---: No measurement possible
(above-mentioned conditions not
met).
If the oil level is too low,
the corresponding warning
symbol is displayed.
Warning indicators
Display
Warnings are displayed with the
corresponding warning lamps.
Warnings for which no separate
warning lamp is provided are signaled by the universal warning
lamp 1 and are accompanied by
a warning notice such as 2 or the
warning symbol 3 in the multifunction display. The universal
warning lamp lights up in either
red or yellow depending on the
urgency of the warning.
If several warnings are active, all
corresponding warning lamps and
warning symbol are displayed;
warnings appear alternately.
The following page contains a list
of potential warnings.
