Adjusting Your Seat; Vehicle Preconditioning; Start-Up Procedure; Noise Levels - BMW i3 Quick Start Manual

VEHICLE PRECONDITIONING.

It is possible to precondition the vehicle at all times, although it
is recommended to do this whilst connected to a charge point
to avoid it affecting the range. This process will require setting
a timer and temperature to automatically turn on the climate
settings to heat or cool the cabin prior to entering the i3.
The battery can also be preconditioned whilst the vehicle is
on charge (i.e. a wallbox or public charging point) in order to
ensure that it is of the optimum temperature before you set off.
Using the iDrive Controller select 'Settings' followed by
'Departure Time' followed by 'Preconditioning at Departure
Time' followed by 'Departure 1'.

NOISE LEVELS.

Remember when departing the i3 will emit dramatically less
noise than a combustion engine car, so please ensure you are
aware of all your surroundings.

ADJUSTING YOUR SEAT.

The seat position can be adjusted using the lever
under to move it back and forth.
You can also adjust the steering wheel position
using the lever on the steering column, and the
wing mirrors by using the switch on the door.

START-UP PROCEDURE.

Depress brake pedal and press the Start/Stop button
together to start the electric motor.
The illumination around Start button will turn blue and the
vehicle will show as 'Ready' in the display.
Move the gear selector to 'D' for forward or 'R' for reverse.
Handbrake is automatically released when depressing
accelerator, do not touch 'P' other than when parking the car.
Only change from 'D' to 'N' or 'R' when stationary.
Do not do this while the vehicle is in motion at any time.
