i Index

Index................................... 37

Any attempt to move the motor­cycle, change its position, start
it without your permission, or
disconnect the battery will trig­ger the alarm. The sensitivity of
the system is set in such a way
that slight vibrations of the
motorcycle will not trigger a
false alarm.
Once you have activated the
alarm, any attempted theft is
indicated acoustically by the
siren and visually by all four turn
indicators flashing at the same
time, and the integrated immo­biliser suppresses engine start.

General

Your anti-theft alarm is com­bined with a central locking sys­tem that enables you to open
and close the cases, the top­case, and the radio compart­ment by remote control.
It also enables you to switch on
the map-reading light and the
ground lights automatically.
You can customise the anti­theft alarm in certain ways to
suit your needs and prefer­ences.

L Note:

In order to protect the motorcy­cle’s battery and ensure that
the engine can be started, the
alarm system deactivates itself
automatically a certain number
of days after being activated, al­though it always remains active
for at least 7 days.

L Note:

Do not be tempted to use the
remote control unit to lock the
keys inside a stowage compart­ment. If you were to mislay the
remote control unit the keys
would be inaccessible and you
would be able neither to open
the cases by means of the
emergency unlocking routine
nor to deactivate the electronic
immobiliser.

Code card

Overview and operation

The anti-theft alarm is supplied
complete with a sealed enve­lope containing a code card 1.
The number stated on the code
card (remove the adhesive
label) is the code for deactivat­ing the anti-theft alarm by
means of the ignition (
It is advisable to keep the code
card with the vehicle registra­tion papers, and carry both with
you when you ride the motorcy­cle.

b 17).

The code number is stamped in
encrypted form on the anti-theft
alarm and it is also printed on
an adhesive label 2 supplied
with the anti-theft alarm. You
should affix the label at a con­cealed location on the motorcy­cle.
If you forget the code and are
unable to find the code card, an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer will be able to forward
the encrypted number to BMW
on your behalf and obtain the
correct code.

Activation

Once the immobiliser has been
activated the engine will refuse
to start even if an authorised
key is used for the start
attempt. You can tell whether
the immobiliser is activated by
switching on the ignition and
observing LED 5; if the immobi­liser is active it will light up when
the pre-ride check completes.

L Note:

The remote control unit acti­vates both the immobiliser and
the alarm function.
It is also possible to have the
immobiliser activated automati­cally when the ignition is
switched off (default) without
activation of the alarm function

b 26).

(

Activation

The immobiliser is activated

• by pressing button 1 on the

remote control unit twice
(alarm function is also acti­vated)

or

• by switching off the ignition, if
programmed (

When you switch off the igni­tion, 50 seconds elapse before
the activation phase.

b 26)

Immobiliser

Activation

Immobiliser

Activation of the immobiliser
after ignition off but without
activation of the alarm function
is confirmed

• by the turn indicators flashing
once

and

• by the alarm tone sounding
once, if programmed (

Activation of the immobiliser
with activation of the alarm
function by means of the
remote control unit is confirmed

• by the indicators flashing
twice

and

• by the alarm tone sounding
twice, if programmed (

b 26)

b 26)

If confirmation takes the form of
the alarm tone sounding four
times, this is to indicate that the
anti-theft alarm's internal
rechargeable battery is dis­charged. The rechargeable bat­tery of the anti-theft alarm is
charged through the on-board
electrical system, which means
that this problem might be due
to a discharged starter battery.
When the anti-theft alarm's
internal battery is discharged
the alarm will not be triggered
by an attempt to disconnect the
starter battery.
Contact your authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer if the alarm
tone sounds four times on acti­vation even after a lengthy jour­ney.

Immobiliser

Deactivating the immobi­liser with the remote con­trol unit

The immobiliser is deactivated

• by pressing button 2 on the

remote control unit once (if
the immobiliser was activated
automatically beforehand
when you switched off the
ignition, it is reactivated
30 seconds later).

Deactivation is confirmed

• by the turn indicators flashing
once

and

• by the alarm tone sounding
once, if programmed (

b 26)

If confirmation takes the form of
the alarm tone sounding four
times, this is to indicate that the
voltage in the on-board elec­tricity supply has dropped
below a predefined threshold.
In this case, recharge the
motorcycle's starter battery
