Reducing Fuel Consumption - BMW X2 2022 Owner's Manual

DRIVING TIPS

Reducing fuel consumption

Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features and functions
that are not necessarily available in your vehi-
cle, e.g., due to the selected options or country
versions. This also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When using these
functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.
General information
The vehicle contains advanced technologies
for the reduction of consumption and emission
values.
Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif-
ferent factors.
Carrying out certain measures, such as a mod-
erate driving style and regular maintenance,
can influence fuel consumption and the envi-
ronmental pollution.
Remove unnecessary cargo
Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts
following use
Remove roof-mounted luggage racks that are
no longer required following use.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero-
dynamics and increase the fuel consumption.

Close the windows and
glass sunroof
Driving with the glass sunroof and windows
open results in increased drag and thereby re-
duces the range.
Tires
General information
Tires can affect consumption in various ways,
for instance tire size may influence consump-
tion.
Check the tire pressure regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation
pressure at least twice a month and before
starting on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re-
sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and
tire wear.
Drive away immediately
Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while
the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate RPM.
This is the fastest way of warming the cold en-
gine up to operating temperature.
Anticipating driving
A smooth and anticipating driving style re-
duces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehi-
cle driving ahead of you.
