Switch off any functions that are
not currently needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear win‐
dow defroster require a lot of energy and reduce
the range, especially in city and stop-and-go traf‐
fic.
Switch off these functions if they are not needed.
The ECO PRO driving mode supports the en‐
ergy conserving use of comfort features. These
functions are automatically deactivated partially
or completely.
Have maintenance carried out
Have the vehicle maintained regularly to achieve
optimal vehicle efficiency and service life. BMW
recommends that maintenance work be per‐
formed by a BMW dealer’s service center.
For information on the BMW Maintenance Sys‐
tem, refer to page

ECO PRO
Concept
ECO PRO supports a driving style that saves on
fuel consumption. For this purpose, the engine
control and comfort features, for instance the cli‐
mate control output, are adjusted.
Under certain conditions the engine is automati‐
cally decoupled from the transmission in the
D selector lever position and the engine is
switched off. The D selector lever position re‐
mains engaged.
In addition, context-sensitive instructions are dis‐
played to assist with an optimized fuel consump‐
tion driving style.
