Question 2

How to turn on the fog lights on a BMW R 1200 GS Adventure (2017)?

Accepted Answer

On your BMW R 1200 GS Adventure (2017), the fog lights are referred to as additional LED headlights. To turn them on, you must first start the engine and activate the low beam headlights (a prerequisite - the additional headlights only work if the low beam is active). Then, press the button 1 located on the left handlebar control (above the headlight control block). A warning light for the additional headlights will illuminate on the dashboard to confirm their activation.

Be aware that these additional headlights are approved as fog lights and should only be used when weather conditions are poor. Follow the traffic regulations in your country, which precisely define when it is legal to use fog lights. In particular, do not leave them on at all times or in low light without fog.

To turn off the additional headlights, press the same button 1 again. The warning light will turn off, confirming the shutdown of these headlights. They will also automatically turn off when the ignition is switched off, after a short moment.
