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.
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.
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 |

If the time remaining until the next service will elapse within one month, the service date 1 appears briefly following the preride check. In this example the display means "July, 2013."
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)
When ambient temperatures 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.
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.
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.

If the general warning light 4 flashes red and if
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).
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.
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.
