features
and
options
This 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 laws and regulations
must be observed.
Concept
The vehicle can be charged using various
charging cables at charging stations or house#j
hold sockets. Control and monitoring of the
charging process are handled completely au#j
tomatically. The charge current strength can
be set via iDrive.
General
information High-voltage
battery
The high-voltage battery is used as an energy
accumulator. The high-voltage battery can be
charged by energy recovery during the trip or
via the power grid.
In order to operate the high-voltage battery optimally, charge the vehicle regularly and
completely on a compatible charger.
When charging via the power grid, you can
chose between the following variants.'yLevel 1 charging via a household socket.'yLevel 2 charging via a Level 2 charging sta#j tion.Level 1 charging is possible via a household
socket with a voltage of 120 volts.
For optimal use of the energy from the power
mains, charging at a charging station, e.g.,
BMW Wallbox, is recommended.
Charge
current
General
information
The charge current strength is indicated in am#j
peres.
The vehicle cannot automatically detect the maximum permissible charge current strength of the power grid during charging via a house#jhold socket or charging station.
Level
1
charging Prior to the first Level 1 charging at your ownhousehold socket, as well as when charging atexternal electrical power sockets in Level 1,the allowed charge current strength must bedetermined, for instance by a qualified electri#j
cian.
The charge current strength for Level 1 charg#j
ing, refer to page 281, can be adjusted in the
vehicle in three levels.
At delivery, the charge current for
Level 1 charging is set to the lowest level.
Depending on the country-specific version,
one of several ampere ratings is printed on the enclosed Level 1 charging cable. This ampererating is the limit which must be adhered to for
the vehicle if the charge current is set to the highest level. Depending on the charge cur#j
rent, the change in charge current strength
varies when lower levels are set.Seite 276MobilityCharging

Maintaining
charge
stateShould it be necessary, for instance to con#j
serve a certain electrical range for a later point
in time on the trip, the current charge state of
the high-voltage battery can be maintained or
increased with BATTERY CONTROL, refer to page 113.
Safety
information WARNING
Improper working with electrical current
can lead to an electric shock due to high vol#j tages or high currents. There is a risk of fire or
danger to life. Observe the general safety reg#j ulations when working with electrical current.'

Charging
cableGeneral
information
Use a Level 1 charging cable, Level 2 charging
cable or the permanently installed charging ca#j ble of a charging station to charge the vehicle.
Different charging cables can be required de#jpending on the country.
Safety
information WARNING
Non-compatible charging cables or un#j
suitable charging stations can heat up and
cause damage to the vehicle. There is a risk of
fire. Use charging cables or charging stations for charging that are suitable for the respective
vehicle type.
A dealer's service center will be glad to provide
information about suitable charging cables.'

Always keep charging socket clean and unob#jstructed.
Keep the charging socket flap closed when the charging socket is not used.
Connecting
the
charging
cableTo connect, engage selector lever position P,
deactivate drive-ready state, and unlock the
vehicle. Set the parking brake, if needed.1.Tap on the charging socket flap, arrow.2.Connect the Level 1 charging cable to the household socket or the Level 2 chargingcable to the port on the charging station.3.Insert the charging cable plug correspond#jing to the charging socket, and push it in
until it engages.
Removing
When the vehicle is locked, the charging cableis locked. Unlock the vehicle before removing the cable.
If necessary, clean the area between charging
socket flap and charging socket, for instance from snow, before removing it.
1.Unlock the vehicle by remote control if it is
locked.
Charging cable is unlocked.2.Press the release button on the handle, ar#j
row 1, and grasp the charging cable at the gripping areas.Charging process is interrupted.3.Remove the charging cable from the
charging socket, arrow 2.4.Close the charging socket flap.5.Disconnect Level 1 charging cable from
the household socket or Level 2 charging cable from the port on the charging station
as needed.6.Stow the charging cable.
At a charging station, insert the perma#j
nently installed charging cable in the place provided for it.
Manually
