BMW X5 xDrive45e PLUG-IN HYBRID 2022 Owner's Manual page 150

CONTROLS
▷ The accelerator pedal is not depressed too
far.
▷ The possible maximum speed for electric
driving is not exceeded.
Automatic starting of the combustion
engine while driving
Depending on the set hybrid mode, the com-
bustion engine is automatically started under
conditions such as the following while driving:
▷ When accelerating heavily or on uphill
grades.
▷ By pressing the accelerator pedal beyond
the resistance point at the full throttle posi-
tion, kickdown.
▷ The charge state of the high-voltage bat-
tery is insufficient.
▷ Selector lever position M/S is engaged.
▷ During manual gear-shifting using the shift
paddles.
▷ Anticipatory hybrid drive with active desti-
nation guidance, e.g., out of town.
▷ System-related demand from the hybrid
components.
Automatic switching-off of the
combustion engine while driving
Depending on the driving situation, the com-
bustion engine is switched off if the conditions
for electric driving are met.
Auto Start/Stop function, coasting
Principle
The Auto Start/Stop function switches the
combustion engine off while the vehicle is
moving, when braking, when rolling to a halt,
and while the vehicle is stopped. The condition
of rolling to a stop without energy recovery is
also referred to as coasting. Comfort functions
such as automatic climate control are supplied
by the high-voltage battery and can remain
switched on.

After coasting, the combustion engine or elec-
tric motor provides the necessary drive power
automatically again, depending on the hybrid
mode.
Functional requirements
Coasting is possible under the following condi-
tions:
▷ In HYBRID ECO PRO driving mode when
the traffic situation allows.
▷ Transmission position D is engaged.
Energy recovery: CHARGE
Principle
With the CHARGE energy recovery, the electric
motor acts as an alternator and converts the
kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical en-
ergy during braking and rolling to a stop.
This recovered energy charges the high-volt-
age battery. If necessary, this stored electrical
energy is output to the electric motor.
General information
Depending on the set hybrid mode, the high-
voltage battery is charged at different speeds
and the vehicle decelerated differently while
rolling to a stop.
Functional requirements
Conditions such as the following prerequisites
must be met to recover kinetic energy:
▷ The vehicle is moving.
▷ Selector lever position D, M/S is set.
▷ The high-voltage battery is not fully
charged.
