Tachometer
Never force the engine speed up into the red
warning field, see arrow. In this range, the fuel
supply is interrupted to protect the engine.
Coolant temperature
A warning lamp will come on if the coolant, and
therefore the engine, becomes too hot. In addi‐
tion, a message will appear on the Control Dis‐
play.
Check the coolant level, refer to page 242.
Current fuel consumption
Displays the current fuel consumption. You can
check whether you are currently driving in an ef‐
ficient and environmentally-friendly manner.
Engine oil temperature▷Cold engine: the pointer is at the low tem‐
perature end. Drive at moderate engine and
vehicle speeds.▷Normal operating temperature: the pointer
is in the middle or in the right half of the tem‐
perature display.▷Hot engine: the pointer is at the high tem‐
perature end. Switch off the engine imme‐
diately and allow it to cool down.
If the engine oil temperature is too high, a mes‐
sage appears on the Control Display.
Check the oil level, refer to page 239.
Fuel gauge
The vehicle inclination may cause the display to
vary.
The arrow on the fuel pump symbol indicates
the side of the vehicle with the fuel filler flap.
Notes on refueling, refer to page 224.
Range
After the reserve range is reached:

other trip displayed, refer to Displays on the
Control Display below.
To reset the average consumption: press the
button on the turn indicator lever for ap‐
prox. 2 seconds.
Current fuel consumption
Displays the current fuel consumption. You can
check whether you are currently driving in an ef‐
ficient and environmentally-friendly manner.

Saving fuelVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all series equipment as
well as country-specific and special equipment
offered for this model series.Therefore, it also
describes equipment that may not be found in
your vehicle, for instance due to the selected
special equipment or the country version. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems.
General information
Your vehicle contains advanced technology for
the reduction of fuel consumption and emis‐
sions.
Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐
ferent factors.
The implementation of certain measures, driv‐
ing style and regular maintenance, refer to
page 243, can have an influence on fuel con‐
sumption and on the environmental impact.
Remove unnecessary cargo
Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts
following use
Remove unneeded auxiliary mirrors, roof or rear
luggage racks after use.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐
dynamics and increase the fuel consumption.Closing the windows and
panoramic glass sunroof
Driving with the panoramic glass sunroof and
windows open results in increased air resistance
and raises fuel consumption.
Check the tire inflation
pressure regularly
Check and, if necessary, correct the tire inflation
pressure, refer to page 228, at least twice a
month and before starting on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐
sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and
tire wear.
Drive away without delay
Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the
vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right
away, but at moderate engine speeds.
This is the fastest way for the cold engine to
reach its operating temperature.
Look well ahead when driving
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle
driving ahead of you.
Driving smoothly and looking ahead reduces
fuel consumption.
Avoid high engine speeds
Driving at a low engine speed reduces fuel con‐
sumption and minimizes wear.Seite 133Saving fuelDriving tips133

Use coasting conditions
When approaching a red light, take your foot off
the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt.
On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the ac‐
celerator and let the vehicle roll.
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.
Fuel savings are already achieved after the en‐
gine is turned off for as little as 4 seconds.
Automatic Engine Start/Stop Function
The Automatic Start/Stop Function of your ve‐
hicle automatically switches off the engine dur‐
ing a stop. Additional information on the Auto‐
matic Engine Start/Stop Function, refer to
page 56.
If the engine is stopped and then started again,
fuel consumption and emissions drop com‐
pared to an engine that runs permanently. Stop‐
ping the engine even for just a few seconds can
result in savings.
Use of this system can cause premature wear on
certain vehicle components.
In addition, fuel consumption depends on other
factors as well, such as driving style, road con‐
ditions, maintenance, and environmental fac‐
tors.
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 243.
ECO PRO
The concept
ECO PRO supports the driver in achieving high
fuel economy. Engine control and comfort func‐
tions, such as the climate control system, are
adjusted accordingly.
In addition, situation-related information can be
displayed that helps the driver achieve lower fuel
consumption.
The resulting range extension can be displayed
in the instrument cluster.
Activating ECO PRO Press the button; the LED above the
button lights up.
ECO PRO appears in the instrument cluster and
DSC is activated if necessary.Seite 134Driving tipsSaving fuel134
