Average energy recovery:
During a slight deceleration by
gently pressing the brake pedal.
Maximum energy recovery:
By pressing the brake pedal
harder.
Brake according to the situation
Brake in accordance with the traffic con‐
ditions, or there is the risk of accident.◀
Optimum energy recovery
As soon as the display shows the maximum en‐
ergy recovery, only press the brake pedal harder
if required by the situation.
Driving situation examples for energy
recovery
The following examples of situations which are
suitable for energy recovery:▷Coasting to a halt in front of traffic lights:
Avoid late or hard braking as much as pos‐
sible, for instance in front of a red light.
Instead, let the vehicle coast to a halt.
Driving situation examples for fuel
economy
In many driving situations, the hybrid system al‐
lows for a particularly efficient energy manage‐
ment.
▷Stop-and-go traffic:
The hybrid system switches the combus‐
tion engine off and on automatically.▷Driving with constant speed:
The electric motor relieves the combustion
engine periodically by also being switched
on.Discharge of the high-voltage battery
In normal operation, a sufficient charging of the
high-voltage battery is ensured by energy re‐
covery. Longer idle times can reduce the charge
of the high-voltage battery.
Do not allow a vehicle to sit idle for long
with a low charging state
Before storing the vehicle for an extended pe‐
riod, check the battery charge indicator to en‐
sure that the high-voltage battery is fully
charged. If necessary, charge the high-voltage
battery by driving the vehicle. Check the state of
charge after no more than three months have
passed and, if necessary, recharge the high-
voltage battery by driving the vehicle. Allowing
the high-voltage battery charge to drop too low
will damage the battery.◀
Fast charging
In exceptional cases it can be charged in place,
such as before extended idle phases in order to
prevent damage to the high-voltage battery.1.Starting the engine.2.Engage position P and set parking brake.3.Press and hold down brake pedal.4.Use the accelerator pedal to maintain an en‐
gine speed of approx. 2,000 rpm.
After a few minutes, the high-voltage battery is
fully charged again.
Use the battery charge indicator in the instru‐
ment cluster to check the charge status.

The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.
Switch off the engine during
longer stops
Switch off the engine during longer stops, e.g.,
at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic
congestion.
Switch off any functions that
are not currently needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear win‐
dow defroster require a lot of energy and con‐
sume additional fuel, especially in city and stop-
and-go traffic.
Therefore, switch off these functions if they are
not actually needed.
Have maintenance carried out
Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve
optimal vehicle economy and operating life.
Have the maintenance carried out by your serv‐
ice center.
Please also note the BMW Maintenance Sys‐
tem, refer to page 273.
ECO PRO
The concept
ECO PRO supports a driving style that saves on
fuel consumption. For this purpose, the engine
control and comfort functions, e. g. the climate
control output, are adjusted.
In addition, context-sensitive instructions can
be displayed that assist in driving in a manner
that optimizes fuel consumption.
The extension of the range that is achieved as a
result can be displayed in the instrument cluster.Activating ECO PRO
Press button repeatedly until ECO PRO
is displayed in the instrument cluster.

By making a slight change to the set tempera‐
ture, or adjusting the rate of heating or cooling
of the passenger compartment fuel consump‐
tion can be economized.
The output of the seat heater is also reduced.

ellites and vehicle sensors, and can reliably
guide you to every entered destination.
Navigation data are stored in the vehicle and can
be updated.
Entries in stationary vehicle
Enter data only when the vehicle is sta‐
tionary, and always give priority to the applicable
traffic regulations in the event of any contradic‐
