BMW 'Water Bird' is a model within the BMW motorcycle lineup. In the BMW motorcycle family, the standard R1200GS and the enhanced R1200GS ADV are two versions of the same model type, sharing the same frame and engine. Most domestic riders refer to these two motorcycles as the 'Water Bird' and the 'ADV'. There are differences between the Water Bird and the ADV in terms of the windshield, handlebars, suspension system, seat, and spoke wheels. Engine guards, tank guards, and engine side panels are standard equipment on the ADV, while the Water Bird does not come with these configurations. If needed, engine guards and side panels can be added through aftermarket modifications.

Why doesn't the car respond when pressing the unlock button on the key?

The reasons why the car doesn't respond when pressing the unlock button on the key are as follows: 1. The key fob battery is dead. This situation is relatively common but difficult to diagnose. If the battery hasn't been replaced for a long time, simply replace it. 2. Severe signal interference in the surrounding environment. Drive the car to another location; if it works, it indicates strong signal interference nearby. If it still doesn't work, then it's one of the other reasons. 3. Damage to the key's control unit. 4. Key code mismatch. 5. Not shifting to P (Park) before turning off the engine (some models require shifting to P before turning off the engine).

What to Do When the Key Is Not Detected for One-Button Start?

The methods to address the issue when the key is not detected for one-button start are: 1. Smart Key Slot. Vehicles equipped with one-button start usually have a smart key slot. Some models place this slot inside the center console, while others position it under the mat of the cup holder. When the smart key battery is dead, inserting the key into this slot will allow the vehicle to detect the key after a short wait, enabling the vehicle to start. 2. Mechanical Keyhole. Some one-button start models also have a traditional metal keyhole. Locate this keyhole, insert the key blade from the remote key, and start the vehicle as you would with a conventional car. Typically, the mechanical keyhole is located behind the one-button start button, and you may need to pry off the plastic cover of the one-button start button to access it.

Is It Useful to Report a Hit-and-Run After Being Rear-Ended?

Reporting a hit-and-run after being rear-ended is useful. If a party involved in a traffic accident flees the scene, the fleeing party will bear full responsibility. However, if there is evidence proving the other party also had fault, the responsibility can be reduced. If a party intentionally damages, falsifies the scene, or destroys evidence, they must bear full responsibility. On-site Procedures After Being Rear-Ended: In the event of a rear-end collision on the road, the driver should immediately stop the vehicle and protect the scene. If a vehicle involved in a traffic accident flees the scene, eyewitnesses and other informed individuals should report to the traffic management department of the public security authority or traffic police. After the accident, the hazard warning lights should remain on, and warning signs should be set up in the direction of oncoming traffic to increase the warning distance. If necessary, call the police promptly. If there are personal injuries, the driver should immediately rescue the injured and quickly report to the on-duty traffic police or the traffic management department of the public security authority. Compensation Procedures After Being Rear-Ended: After being rear-ended, the traffic police will issue a traffic accident liability determination, and compensation will be based on this document. If the accident determines that the rear-ending vehicle is fully at fault, you can use the determination document, repair cost invoices, and the accident liability determination issued by the police to directly claim compensation from the other party's insurance company. A rear-end collision can cause personal injuries and property damage. Compensation for a rear-end collision generally includes medical expenses, lost wages, hospitalization meal subsidies, nursing fees, disability living subsidies, disability equipment costs, funeral expenses, death compensation, dependent living expenses, transportation costs, accommodation fees, and direct property losses.
