Idrive - BMW X1 Owner's Handbook Manual

Overview

iDrive

Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is
therefore also described, for example the se‐
lected special equipment or national version.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant na‐
tional regulations when using the correspond‐
ing functions and systems.
Principle
iDrive integrates the functions of a large num‐
ber of switches. These functions can therefore
be controlled from one central point.
WARNING
Operating integrated information sys‐
tems and communication devices during the
journey can distract from traffic. You could lose
control of the vehicle. Danger of accidents.
Only operate the systems or devices if permis‐
sible in the traffic situation. Stop if necessary
and operate the systems or devices with the
vehicle at a standstill.◀
