fuelVehicle
features
and
optionsThis chapter describes all standard, country-specific and optional features offered with theseries. It also describes features that are notnecessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due
to the selected options or country versions.
This also applies to safety-related functions
and systems. When using these functions and systems, the applicable country provisions
must be observed.
General
information
The vehicle contains advanced technologies
for the reduction of fuel consumption and
emission values.
Fuel consumption depends on a number of difj ferent factors.
Carrying out certain measures, such as a modj erate driving style and regular maintenance, can influence fuel consumption and the envijronmental impact.
Remove
unnecessary
cargoAdditional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove
attached
parts
following
use
Remove roof-mounted luggage racks which
are no longer required following use.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aerojdynamics and increase the fuel consumption.Close
the
windows
and
glass
sunroof
Driving with the glass sunroof and windows
open results in increased air resistance and
thereby reduces the range.
Tires
General
information Tires can affect fuel consumption in various
ways, e.g., tire size may influence fuel conj
sumption.
Check
the
tire
inflation
pressure
regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation
pressure at least twice a month and before
starting on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling rej
sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and
tire wear.
Drive
away
immediately
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 quickest way of warming the cold engine up to operating temperature.
Look
well
ahead
when
driving
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehij cle driving ahead of you.
Driving smoothly and proactively reduces fuel
consumption.Seite 201Saving

Avoid
high
engine
speeds
As a rule: driving at low engine speeds lowers
fuel consumption and reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the gear shift indicator of the vehicle, refer to page 98.
Use
coasting
When approaching a red light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to
a halt.
For going downhill take your foot off the accelj erator 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.
Auto
Start/Stop
function The Auto Start/Stop function of the vehicle auj
tomatically switches off the engine during a
stop.
If the engine is switched off and then restarted
rather than leaving the engine running conj stantly, fuel consumption and emissions are
reduced. Savings can begin within a few secj
onds of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is also deterj mined by other factors, such as driving style,
road conditions, maintenance or environmental
factors.
Switch
off
any
functions
that
are
not
currently
needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear window defroster require a lot of energy andreduce the range, especially in city and stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they are not needed.
The ECO PRO driving program supports the
energy conserving use of comfort features.
These functions are automatically deactivated partially or completely.
Have
maintenance
carried
out
Have the vehicle maintained regularly to achjieve optimal vehicle efficiency and service life. BMW recommends that maintenance work be
performed by a BMW dealerss service center.
For information on the BMW Maintenance
System, refer to page 239.
ECO
PRO
Concept
ECO PRO supports a driving style that saves
on fuel consumption. For this purpose, the enj
gine control and comfort features, e.g., the clij mate control output, are adjusted.
Under certain conditions the engine is autoj
matically decoupled from the transmission in
the D selector lever position. The vehicle conj tinues traveling with the engine idling to rejduce fuel consumption. Selector lever positionD remains engaged.
In addition, context-sensitive instructions are
displayed to assist with an optimized fuel conj sumption driving style.
The achieved extended range is displayed in
the instrument cluster as bonus range.

Climate control is set to be fuel-efficient. By making a slight change to the set temperajture, or slowly adjusting the rate of heating or
cooling of the vehicle's interior, fuel consumpj tion can be economized.
The mirror heating is made available when outj
side temperatures are very cold.
Coasting
To activate coasting:

Fuel-efficiency can be optimized by disengagj ing the engine and coasting with the engine
idling.

Coasting
Concept
The function helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engineis automatically decoupled from the transmisjsion when selector lever position D is set. The
vehicle continues traveling with the engine idling to reduce fuel consumption. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coastj ing.
As soon as you step on the brake or acceleraj
tor pedal, the engine is automatically coupled
again.
General
information Coasting is a component of the ECO PRO drivj
ing mode.
Coasting is automatically activated when ECO PRO mode is called via the Driving Dynamics
Control.
The function is available in a certain speed
range.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to use
the function as often as possible and supports
the fuel-conserving effect of coasting.
