BMW C400GT - Rider's Manual > General information on DWA

Overview

• with anti-theft alarm system (DWA) OE

Any attempt to move the vehicle, change its position, start it without authorization, or disconnect the vehicle battery, results in the alarm being triggered. The sensitivity of the system is designed so that minor vibrations of the motorcycle do not trigger an alarm. Each theft attempt is signaled following activation of the system acoustically with the siren and optically with synchronized flashing of all 4 turn indicators.

You can adjust the behavior of your DWA in partial areas to meet your needs.

Protection of motorcycle battery

To protect the motorcycle battery and to maintain the starting capability, the activated DWA switches off automatically after several days. However, it remains active for at least 10 days.

Radio interference

Radio systems or devices which transmit on the same frequency as the remote control of the DWA can interfere with its function.

With corresponding problems point the remote control at the motorcycle from a different direction.
