sport mode BMW I3 2014 I01 Owner's Manual

The electric motor acts as a generator and
converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into
electric current.
Charging can take place in various situations
while the vehicle is in motion:▷As soon as the gas pedal is only slightly
depressed.▷During vehicle braking.
The mark in the instrument cluster is located
within the CHARGE range.
Sensible driving and early speed reduction are
important to make full use of the energy recov‐
ery feature.
Display The eDRIVE displays, refer to page 74, pro‐
vide information about the current state of the
drive and visualize the system's use in a dia‐
gram.
Maximize energy-saving driving and
range
Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequisite
for as large a range as possible. eDRIVE pro‐
vides various functions that assist with an en‐
ergy-saving driving style and in the process
help to monitor the range and if needed to in‐
crease it. The following instructions provide an
overview of the available functions and the per‐
sonal measures.
Before driving eDRIVE allows using the air conditioner even

trol, refer to page 132, provides more range
than full air conditioning while driving.

process can provide maximum range when
driving off.
