Alarm signal

A DWA alarm can be triggered by:

• motion sensor
• an attempt to use an unauthorised vehicle key to switch on the ignition
• disconnection of the DWA antitheft alarm from the motorcycle's battery (DWA internal battery in the anti-theft alarm provides power - alarm tone only, the turn indicators do not flash).

All functions are sustained even if the internal battery of the DWA anti-theft alarm system is flat; the only difference is that an alarm cannot be triggered if the system is disconnected from the motorcycle's battery.

An alarm lasts for approximately 26 seconds. While an alarm is in progress an alarm tone sounds and the turn indicators flash. The type of alarm tone can be set by an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.

If an alarm was triggered while the motorcycle was unattended, the rider is notified accordingly by an alarm tone sounding once when the ignition is switched on.

The DWA LED then indicates the reason for the alarm for one minute.

Light signals issued by the DWA LED:

• Flashes 1x: Motion sensor 1
• Flashes 2x: Motion sensor 2
• Flashes 3x: Ignition switched on with unauthorised vehicle key
• Flashes 4x: Disconnection of the DWA anti-theft alarm from the motorcycle's battery
• Flashes 5x: Motion sensor 3
