Climate control functions in detail
Manual air distribution Press the button repeatedly to select a
program:▷Upper body region.▷Upper body region and footwell.▷Footwell.▷Windows and footwell: driver's side only.▷Windows, upper body region and footwell:
driver's side only.
If the windows are fogged over, press the AUTO
button on the driver's side to utilize the conden‐
sation sensor.
Temperature Turn the wheel to set the desired
temperature.
The automatic climate control achieves this
temperature as quickly as possible, if necessary
with the maximum cooling or heating capacity,
and then keeps it constant.
Avoid rapidly switching between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate control
will not have sufficient time to adjust the set
temperature.
AUTO program Press the button.
Air flow, air distribution, and tempera‐
ture are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity, and outside influences, the air is di‐
rected to the windshield, side windows, upper
body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function, refer to page 140, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO pro‐
gram.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program so as to prevent window con‐
densation as much as possible.
Intensity of the AUTO program
With the AUTO program switched on, automatic
control of the air flow and air distribution can be
adjusted.
Press the left or right side of the button:
decrease or increase the intensity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.
Air flow, manual
To be able to manually adjust the air flow, switch
off the AUTO program first.
Press the left or right side of the button:
decrease or increase air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the display of
the automatic climate control.
The air flow of the automatic climate control may
be reduced automatically to save battery power.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
Press the button.
Ice and condensation are quickly re‐
moved from the windshield and the front side
windows.
The air flow can be adjusted when the program
is active.
If the windows are fogged over, you can also
switch on the cooling function or press the
AUTO button to utilize the condensation sensor.
Maximum cooling Press the button.
The system is set to the lowest tem‐
perature, maximum air flow and recirculated-air
mode.Seite 139Climate controlControls139

32 ℉/0 ℃.▷When the engine is running.
Residual cooling
When the automatic climate control has re‐
duced the interior temperature, this tempera‐
ture can be maintained after the engine has been
switched off. This function can be activated up
to 15 minutes after the engine is switched off
and for a maximum period of 6 minutes.

Parked-car ventilation
The concept
The parked-car ventilation ventilates the vehicle
interior and lowers its temperature, if necessary.
The system can be switched on and off directly
or by using two preset switch-on times. It re‐
mains switched on for 30 minutes.
Operation can be performed via iDrive.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.
Functional requirement
▷When using a preset switch-on time: an ex‐
ternal temperature above ap‐
prox. 59 ℉/15 ℃.▷When operated directly and if there is no
parked-car heating: any external tempera‐
ture.

Auxiliary air conditioning
The concept
To cool the heated passenger compartment im‐
mediately before starting to drive, the automatic
climate control can be activated via a remote
control.

The automatic climate control reduces the inte‐
rior temperature with high cooling power for ap‐
prox. two minutes.
Remote control
The concept
The remote control can be used to activate the
auxiliary air conditioning for two minutes de‐
pending on the charge level of the battery and
from an external temperature of
about 59 ℉/15 ℃.

When coasting to a halt without pressing the
brake pedal.
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 fuel
economy
In many driving situations, the hybrid system al‐
lows for a particularly efficient energy manage‐
ment.
▷Stop-and-go traffic:The combustion engine is switched on or
over automatically by the hybrid system.▷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 periods can reduce the
charge state of the high-voltage battery.
Do not allow the vehicle to sit idle for ex‐
tended periods 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 charge
level regularly, and if necessary recharge the
high-voltage battery by driving the vehicle. Al‐
lowing the high-voltage battery charge to drop
too low will damage the battery.◀
Charging by driving
In order to charge the high-voltage battery most
effectively when driving, activated the transmis‐
sion's Sport program DS, refer to page 77.
Coasting to a standstill and braking phases are
used more often to recover energy.
eDRIVE electric driving and the Auto Start Stop
function will also be deactivated.
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.

parking brake.Seite 159Things to remember when drivingDriving tips159
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 917 574 - II/13

Braking longer will charge the high-voltage bat‐
tery more.
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.
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 188.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.
eDRIVE electric driving, refer to page 69, and the
Coasting, refer to page 69, driving status is be‐
coming possible more and more often.
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.

"ECO PRO climate control"
The climate control is adjusted to be fuel-effi‐
cient.
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 outputs of the seat heater and the exterior
mirror heating are also reduced.
The exterior mirror heating is made available
when outside temperatures are very cold.
ECO PRO potential
The percentage of potential savings that can be
achieved with the current configuration is dis‐
played.
Display in the instrument cluster
ECO PRO bonus range An extension of the range can be
achieved by an adjusted driving
style.
This may be displayed as the bo‐
nus range in the instrument clus‐
ter.
The bonus range is shown in the range display.
The bonus range is automatically reset every
time the vehicle is refueled.
Driving style
In the tachometer, a mark in the bar display in‐
dicates the current efficiency of the driving style.
Mark in the “CHARGE” area, arrow 1: display for
energy recovered by coasting or when braking.
Mark in the “POWER” area, arrow 2: display
when accelerating.
The efficiency of the driving style is shown by
the color of the bar:
▷Blue display: efficient driving style as long as
the mark moves within the blue range.▷Gray display: adjust driving style, e. g. by
backing off the accelerator pedal.Seite 168Driving tipsSaving fuel168
