Operation Manual

The ambient temperature
warning does not mean that
there is no risk of ice forming at
measured temperatures above
3 °C.
Always take extra care when
temperatures are low; remember
that the danger of black ice form-
ing is particularly high on bridges
and where the road is in shade.
Ride carefully and think well
ahead.

yellow.
+ "DWA" appears on the
display.
This error message appears
only briefly after the pre-
ride check completes.
Possible cause:
The integral battery in the anti-
theft alarm has lost its entire ori-
ginal capacity. There is no as-
surance that the anti-theft alarm
will be operational if the vehicle's
battery is disconnected.
Seek the advice of a specialist
workshop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.

that the ABS function is not
available until self-diagnosis has
completed.

ted a fault.
