features
andoptions
This chapter describes all standard, country-spejcific and optional features offered with the series. It also describes features that are not necessarilyavailable in your vehicle, e. g., due to the selectedoptions or country versions. This also applies to
safety-related functions and systems. When usj
ing these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations 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 moderj
ate driving style and regular maintenance, can inj fluence fuel consumption and the environmental
impact.
Remove
unnecessary cargo
Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove
attached
parts following
use
Remove roof-mounted luggage racks which areno longer required following use.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aerodyj
namics 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 rej
duces the range.
Tires
General
information Tires can affect fuel consumption in various
ways, for instance tire size may influence fuel
consumption.
Check
the
tire
inflation
pressure
regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation
pressure at least twice a month and before startj
ing 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 rightaway, but at moderate engine speeds.
This is the quickest way of warming the cold enjgine up to operating temperature.
Look
well
ahead
whendriving
Driving smoothly and proactively reduces fuel
consumption.

TIPS231
Online Edition for Part no. 01402120596 - II/18

Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicledriving ahead of you.
Avoid
high
engine
speeds
Driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel conj
sumption and reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehicle's gear shift indij
cator, refer to page 136.
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 accelerj
ator and let the vehicle roll.
The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.
Switch
off
the
engineduring
longer
stops
Switching
off
the
engine
Switch off the engine during longer stops, for inj stance at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in
traffic congestion.
Auto
Start/Stop
functionThe Auto Start/Stop function of the vehicle autoj
matically 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 rej
duced. Savings can begin within a few seconds
of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is also determined
by other factors, such as driving style, road conj
ditions, maintenance or environmental factors.
Switch
off
any
functions
that
are
not
currentlyneeded
Functions such as seat heating and the rear winj
dow defroster require a lot of energy and reduce
the range, especially in city and stop-and-go trafj fic.
Switch off these functions if they are not needed. The ECO PRO driving mode supports the enj
ergy conserving use of comfort features. These functions are automatically deactivated partially
or completely.
Have
maintenance
carried out
Have the vehicle maintained regularly to achieveoptimal vehicle efficiency and service life. BMW
recommends that maintenance work be perj
formed by a BMW dealerss service center.
For information on the BMW Maintenance Sysjtem, refer to page 271.
ECO
PRO
Concept ECO PRO supports a driving style that saves onfuel consumption. For this purpose, the enginecontrol and comfort features, for instance the clijmate control output, are adjusted.
In addition, context-sensitive instructions are disj
played to assist with an optimized fuel consumpj tion driving style.
The achieved extended range is displayed in the instrument cluster as bonus range.

"ECO PRO climate control"
Climate control is set to be fuel-efficient. That is, it is possible to deviate slightly from the
set temperature or to heat or cool the car's intej
rior more slowly, to economize on fuel consumpj tion.
In addition, the power output to the seat and mirj
ror heating is reduced.
Coasting
Fuel-efficiency can be optimized by disengaging
the engine and coasting with the engine idling.
Deactivate the function to use the braking effect
of the engine when traveling downhill.

The display switches to blue as soon as all conjditions for driving with optimized fuel efficiency
are met.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, the
ECO PRO displays also inform you about your
current driving style. This is indicated by a
pointer which moves along a scale. The pointer tells you whether energy is being consumed to
accelerate the vehicle or whether energy is being
recovered through coasting or braking. If the pointer remains in the blue range on the scale,you are driving efficiently.

Coasting
Concept
This function helps to save fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engine is automatically decoupled from the transmission
when selector lever position D is set. The vehicle
continues traveling with the engine idling to rej duce fuel consumption. Selector lever position D
remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coasting.
As soon as you step on the brake or accelerator 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.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to use the function as often as possible and supports
the fuel-conserving effect of coasting.
Functional
requirements The function is available in the speed range from
approx. 15 mph/25 km/h up to
100 mph/160 km/h.
The function is active if the following conditions
are met:'xAccelerator pedal and brake pedal not dej
pressed.'xThe selector lever is in selector lever position D.'xEngine and transmission are at operatingtemperature.'xWith a camera in the area of the interior mirjror: the system does not detect any vehicles
ahead of you.'xWith the route-ahead assistant: the system does not detect any obstructive traffic situaj
tions or routes.
Operation
via

paddles
Concept
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, the
coasting mode can be influenced with the shift
paddles.

Driving
style
analysis
Concept
The function helps develop an especially effij
cient driving style and to conserve fuel.
For this purpose, the driving style is analyzed.
The assessment is done in various categories
and is displayed on the Control Display.
This display will help you adjust your driving style
and save some fuel.
The last 15 minutes of a trip are evaluated.
The range of the vehicle can be extended by
adopting an efficient driving style.
This gain in range is displayed as a bonus range
in the instrument cluster and on the Control Disj play.

The display of the ECO PRO driving style analyjsis consists of a symbolized route and a lookuptable.
The road symbolizes the efficiency of the driving style. The more efficient your driving style, the
smoother the depicted route becomes, arrow 1.
The table of values contains stars. The more effij cient the driving style, the more stars are inj
cluded in the table and the faster the bonus
range increases, arrow 2.
If, on the other hand, the driving style is ineffij
cient, a more wavy road and a reduced number
of stars are displayed.
To assist with an efficient driving style, ECO
PRO tips are displayed during driving.
