high-voltage battery is charged at the same
time.
The hybrid system always starts the combus‐
tion engine automatically.
Energy recovery: CHARGE
The high-voltage battery is charged while driv‐
ing through energy recovery.
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:
▷ When the vehicle is rolling if the accelera‐
tor pedal is not pressed.
▷ During vehicle braking.
When exerting gentle pressure on the brakes,
the vehicle is only braked by the electric motor.
When the brake pedal is depressed further, the
brake system is activated additionally. This is
why only part of the brake energy is used to
charge the high-voltage battery when exerting
firm pressure on the brake.
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 72, pro‐
vide information about the current state of the
drive and visualize the system's use in a dia‐
gram.
Energy-saving driving
To save energy while driving, read the follow‐
ing information:
Before driving
eDRIVE allows using the air conditioner even
before driving off. The stationary climate con‐
trol, refer to page 123, provides more range
than full air conditioning while driving.
Parked car ventilation during the charging
process can provide maximum range when
driving off.
During driving
▷ General driving tips, refer to page 140, for
increasing the range.
▷ Use the eDRIVE system efficiently, refer to
page 134, for an optimized driving style.
▷ ECO PRO mode, refer to page 141, for in‐
creasing the range.
▷ Display of hybrid system utilization, refer to
page 75
▷ Hints for saving fuel, refer to page 140, for
reduction of the fuel consumption.
After the trip
▷ Charge vehicle, refer to page 146, and
plan next trip.
▷ Prepare for long downtimes, refer to
page 183.
BMW i Remote app
A special BMW i Remote App allows to control
and display certain vehicle functions using a
smartphone.
Safety information
Read the information on safe handling of the
high-voltage system, refer to page 178.
Long-term
Follow the instructions for vehicle storage and
for longer idle periods, refer to page 183.
