Alarm signal
The DWA alarm can be set off by:
- motion sensor
- Switching on ignition with an unauthorized motorcycle key
- disconnecting the DWA from the motorcycle battery (DWA battery takes over the power supply - alarm sound only, hazard warning lights do not flash)
If the DWA battery is discharged all functions remain operational; the only difference is that the alarm cannot be set off if the system is disconnected from the motorcycle battery.
The duration of the alarm is approx. 26 seconds. During the alarm, an alarm tone sounds and the turn indicators flash. The type of alarm sound can be set by an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.

A triggered alarm can be canceled at any time by pressing the button 1 on the radio-operated key without deactivating the DWA.
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 signals the reason for the alarm for one minute.
Light signals on DWA LED:
- 1 flash: motion sensor 1
- 2 flashes: motion sensor 2
- 3 flashes: ignition turned on with unauthorized ignition key
- 4 flashes: alarm system disconnected from vehicle battery
