BMW K 1200 R User Manual

Press and hold down button 1.
Average consumption is reset
to zero.
Range
The description of the residual-
range function ( 49) also cov-
ers the range readout. You can
also view range 1 before the fuel
level drops to reserve. A special
average-consumption figure is
used to calculate range; this fig-
ure is not necessarily the same
as the value you can call up for
viewing on the display.
When the motorcycle is propped
on its side stand the slight angle
of inclination means that the
sensor cannot register the fuel
level correctly. This is the reason
why the range is calculated only
when the motorcycle is on the
move.
When refuelling after running on
reserve, make sure that you top
up the tank to a level above re-
serve, as otherwise the sensor
will not be able to register the
new level. If the sensor cannot
register the new level neither the
fuel-level reading nor the range
readout can be updated.
The calculated range is only
an approximate reading.
Consequently, BMW Motorrad
recommends that you should not
try to use the full range before
refuelling.
