Equipment

When you ordered your MaxiScooter, you chose various items of custom equipment. This Rider's Manual describes optional extras (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 MaxiScooter was supplied with equipment not described in this Rider's Manual, you will find these features described in separate manuals.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and power ratings stated in the Rider's Manual are quoted to the standards and comply with the tolerance requirements of the Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (DIN). Versions for individual countries may differ.

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

7 instructionsGeneral

rule out errors and omissions. We hope you will appreciate that no claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.

Service-due indicator

The service-due date 1 shows when a service is due within one month.

When a service is due within 1000 kilometres (US version,

700 miles), countdown

distance 2 is shown and counted down in steps of 100 kilometres (US version, 100 miles). This reading appears 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

permanently visible.

NOTICE

If the service-due indicator appears more than a month before the service date, the current date has to be corrected. This situation can occur if the battery was disconnected.

Status indicators

Distance ridden after fuel down to reserve

The distance you ride after the fuel level drops to reserve is shown at 1 along with symbol 2. This distance counter is reset and the reading disappears as soon as you refuel and top up the tank to above the reserve level.

Ambient temperature

If the outside temperature drops below 3 °C the temperature display flashes to draw your attention to the risk of black

ice forming. The display automatically switches from any other mode to the temperature reading when the temperature drops below this threshold for the first time.

Tyre pressures

with tyre pressure monitoring (RDC)OE

The tyre-pressure readings are based on a tyre air temperature of 20 °C. The front tyre pressure is on the left 1; the reading on the right 2 is the rear tyre

pressure. : 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.

The detailed description of BMW Motorrad RDC starts on page ( 89).

Oil level

The oil-level indicator 1 gives you an indication of the engine oil level. You can call up this reading only when the vehicle is at a standstill.

The preconditions for the oil level check are as follows:

Engine at operating temperature.

Engine idling for at least ten seconds.

Side stand retracted. Maxi-Scooter is upright.

The meanings of the readings that can appear at position 1 and 2 are as follows:

OIL OK: Oil level is correct. OIL CHECK: Check the oil level the next time you stop for fuel.

OIL : Oil level cannot be measured (conditions as stated above not satisfied).

The appropriate warning symbol shows if the oil level

is too low.

Side View Assist

with Side View AssistOE

Telltale lights

The SVA telltale lights give the rider notification of the presence of vehicles in the blind spot or approaching from behind.

NOTICE

Side View Assist is not a substitute for the rider's personal judgement of the traffic situation. Remain constantly alert and observe the traffic situation and the vehicle's surroundings at all times, even if the telltale lights do not indicate the presence of a vehicle.

Remember that you must double-check for vehicles approaching from behind, so make full use of your mirrors and always turn your head and look back over your shoulder before turning off or changing lanes.

Status indicators

Telltale light 1 shows if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot on the left-hand side of the vehicle.

Telltale lights 1 and 2 flash in sync if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot on the left-hand side while the left turn indicator is on.

Telltale light 3 shows if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot on the right-hand side of the vehicle.

Telltale lights 3 and 4 flash in sync if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot on the righthand side while the right turn indicator is on.

Pre-RideCheck

The instrument cluster runs a test of telltale lights 1 and 3 when you switch on the ignition. The telltale lights show briefly to indicate that the test is in progress.

Communication fault

NOTICE

If there is no communication between the instrument cluster and the SVA control unit, telltale lights 1 and 3 quick-flash.

You can continue to ride the vehicle, but make due provision for the fact that the SVA function is not available.

Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.

See the section entitled "Riding" ( 77) for information about bank angles, the range of activation speed and speed differential. See the section entitled "Engineering in detail" ( 90) for information about the surroundings sensors.

Warnings

Mode of presentation

Warnings are indicated by the 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 appearing at position 2, such as EWS!, or a

warning symbol 3 appearing on the multifunction display.

The 'general' warning light shows red or yellow, depending on the urgency of the warning.

If two or more warnings occur at the same time, all the appropriate warning lights and warning symbols appear, alternating with warning words as applicable. The possible warnings are listed on the next pages.
