Look well ahead when driving
Driving smoothly and proactively reduces
energy consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and brak-
ing.
By maintaining a suitable distance to the
vehicle driving ahead of you.
Longer braking procedures result in more
efficient charging of the high-voltage bat-
tery via energy recovery from braking.
Use accelerator pedal for de-
celeration and coasting
When approaching a red light, use accelera-
tor pedal for decelerating.
For going downhill use coasting function;
for this purpose, press accelerator pedal just
enough that the vehicle rolls.
Switch off any functions that
are not currently needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear
window defroster require a lot of energy
and reduce the range, especially in city and
stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they are not
needed.
The GREEN and GREEN+ driving modes
support the energy-conserving use of com-
fort features. They automatically perform a
partial or complete deactivation of these
functions.
Have maintenance carried out
Have the vehicle maintained regularly to
achieve optimal vehicle efficiency and serv-
ice life. MINI recommends that mainte-
nance work be performed by a MINI service
center.
Also note the MINI maintenance systems,
refer to page 248 .
Using eDRIVE efficiently
Concept
eDRIVE operates automatically. Proactive
driving utilizes energy consumption and en-
ergy recovery optimally. Energy recovery is
used to charge the high-voltage battery. En-
ergy recovery is important for the supply of
electrical components and thus a prerequi-
site for a long range. Energy consumption
and recovery depend very much, among
other things, on your driving style.
Optimizing driving style
Performance display
Your driving style can be optimized using
the performance display.
The energy recovery occurs during coasting
and braking and is displayed in the perform-
ance display by the accelerator pedal indica-
tor.
