Operation Manual

Pre-ride check
The instrument cluster runs a
test of the instruments and the
warning lights and telltale lights
and the display when the igni-
tion is switched on. This test is
known as the "Pre-Ride-Check".
Phase 1
The warning and telltale lights
are switched on, along with all
the segments of the multifunc-
tion display.
Phase 2
The speedometer needle swings
to the limit value on its scale and
back to the initial position.
Phase 3
All lights and all the segments in
the display switch off.
The instrument panel goes to its
normal operating mode.
If the needle did not move, if a
warning light or telltale light did
not show as specified above or if
a segment or segments of the
multifunction display failed to
light up:
Some malfunctions cannot
be indicated if one of the
warning lights fails to show.
Make sure that all the warning
and telltale lights come on in the
pre-ride check.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
