BMW K1600GTL User Manual

Ambient temperature
When the motorcycle is at
a standstill the heat of the
engine can falsify the ambient-
temperature reading. If the effect
of the engine's heat becomes ex-
cessive, -- temporarily appears
on the display.
If ambient temperature
drops below 3 °C this
warning appears, drawing
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 reference tyre tem-
perature 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 ig-
nition is switched on, because
the sensors do not transmit tyre
pressures until the first time the
motorcycle accelerates to more
than 30 km/h.
If the pressure in a tyre drops to
a critical level the corresponding
status indicator shows red.
The tyre warning symbol
also appears on the display.
The "General" warning light
flashes red.
