Adaptive Recuperation; Activating The Recuperation; Examples Of Driving Situations - BMW iX Owner's Handbook Manual

DRIVING HINTS
Use the accelerator pedal for
decelerating and rolling to a stop
When approaching a red traffic light, use the ac‐
celerator pedal for decelerating.
Use the coasting function when driving downhill.
Press accelerator pedal just until the vehicle rolls.
With adaptive recuperation: do not press the ac‐
celerator pedal. Coasting and deceleration are
automatically adapted to the driving situation in
question.
Switch off functions which are not
currently required
Functions such as seat heating or rear window
heating require a great deal of energy and re‐
duce the range, especially in city traffic and stop-
and-go traffic.
Switch these functions off if they are not re‐
quired.
Have maintenance work carried out
For optimum economy and service life, have the
vehicle serviced regularly. BMW recommends
having maintenance work carried out by a BMW
Service Partner.
Please also comply with the BMW Maintenance
System.

Adaptive recuperation

Principle
Adaptive recuperation supports an anticipatory
and comfort-oriented driving style. Map data and
various sensors analyse the current driving situa‐
tion, for example the distance to the vehicle in
front.
General
Adaptive recuperation is available depending on
the equipment and national-market version.
Based on the situation, the system decides

whether and the extent to which energy is recov‐
ered through recuperation, or how the vehicle
rolls. Depending on the strength of the recupera‐
tion, the vehicle is decelerated differently while
coasting.
Display
Display in the instrument cluster
The adaptive recuperation can be displayed in
the instrument cluster.
For further information:
Power display, see page 163.
Display on the control display
The adaptive recuperation can be displayed on
the control display.
For further information:
Current driving condition, see page 172.

Activating the recuperation

1. "MENU"
2. "Vehicle apps"
3. "Driving settings"
4. "Drivetrain and chassis"
5. "Adaptive recuperation"
6. Select the desired setting.
Coasting
Principle
The electric drivetrain allows it to roll without en‐
ergy consumption. This drive state is called
coasting.
Coasting is automatically adapted to the driving
situation in question.
If the vehicle rolls, no energy is recuperated.

Examples of driving situations

If a route can be covered without foreseeable
braking, it is advantageous to roll on this route.
