BMW and selected optional

If your Scooter was supplied

Actuality
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.
Nor can BMW Motorrad entirely
rule out errors and omissions.
We hope you will appreciate that
no claims can be entertained on

or descriptions in this manual.

If the next service is due in less
than one month, the date for the
next service 1 is shown briefly
after the Pre-Ride Check completes. In this example the read-

Status indicators
ing means "July 2013".
If the vehicle covers long distances 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 odometer reading at which a service
will be due is less than 1000 km,
the distance is counted down in
steps of 100 km 2 and 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 'general' warning light showing yellow.
The word "Service" remains permanently visible.
If the service-due indic-
ator appears 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 disconnected.
Distance ridden after fuel down to reserve
The distance you ride after the
fuel level drops to reserve is
shown 1 along with symbol 2.
This counter is reset and the
reading disappears as soon as
refuelling brings the total quantity
of fuel in the tank back above the
reserve level.

mode to the temperature reading when the temperature drops
below this threshold for the first
time.
Tyre pressures

appears directly after the ignition is switched on, because
the sensors do not transmit tyre
pressures until the first time the
vehicle accelerates to more than
30 km/h.
If "General" warning light 4
flashes red, accompanied
by symbol 3, the reading is a
warning. The top arrow beside
the tyre symbol indicates a problem with the front wheel, the bottom arrow indicates a problem
with the rear wheel.

corresponding warning lights.
Warnings for which there is no
dedicated warning light are indicated by 'general' warning light 1
showing in combination with
a warning text at position 2 or
one of the warning symbols 3
appearing in the multifunction
display. The 'general' warning
light shows red or yellow, depending on the urgency of the
warning.

the same time, all the appropriate warning lights and warning
symbols appear, alternating with
