ActiveHybrid 3 Owner's Manual for Vehicle

Thank you for choosing a BMW.

The more familiar you are with your vehicle, the better control

you will have on the road. We therefore strongly suggest:

Read this Owner's Manual before starting off in your new BMW.

Also use the Integrated Owner's Manual in your vehicle. It con‐

tains important information on vehicle operation that will help

you make full use of the technical features available in your

BMW. The manual also contains information designed to en‐

hance operating reliability and road safety, and to contribute to

maintaining the value of your BMW.

Any updates made after the editorial deadline for the printed or

Integrated Owner's Manual are located in the appendix of the

printed quick reference for the vehicle.

Supplementary information can be found in the additional bro‐

chures in the onboard literature.

We wish you a safe and enjoyable drive.

Notes

The hybrid system of your

BMW

Your BMW is a hybrid vehicle. In addition to the

combustion engine, your vehicle features a

high-voltage system that consists of an elec‐

tric motor and a high-voltage battery among

other things.

This combination permits a particularly effi‐

cient fuel utilization.

Using this Owner's Manual

The fastest way to find information on a partic‐

ular topic is by using the index.

An initial overview of the vehicle is provided in

the first chapter.

Updates made after the editorial

deadline

Any updates made after the editorial deadline

for the Owner's Manuals are located in the ap‐

pendix of the printed quick reference for the

vehicle.

User's manual for Navigation,

Entertainment, Communication

The topics of Navigation, Entertainment, Com‐

munication and the short commands of the

voice activation system are described in a sep‐

arate user's manual, which is also included

with the onboard literature.

Additional sources of information

Should you have any questions, your service

center will be glad to advise you at any time.

Information on BMW, e.g., on technology, is

available on the Internet: bmwusa.com.

Notes

6Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 911 091 - VI/13

Therefore, in this Owner's Manual, equipment

is also described and illustrated that is not

available in your vehicle, e.g., because of the

selected optional equipment or the country-

specific variants.

This also applies for safety-related functions

and systems.

For options and equipment not described in

this Owner's Manual, please refer to the Sup‐

plementary Owner's Manuals.

On right-hand drive vehicles, some controls

are arranged differently than shown in the illus‐

trations.

Status of the Owner's

Manual

The manufacturer of your vehicle pursues a

policy of constant development that is con‐

ceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to

embody the highest quality and safety stan‐

dards. In rare cases, therefore, the features de‐

scribed in this Owner's Manual may differ from

those in your vehicle.

Updates made after the editorial

deadline

Any updates made after the editorial deadline

for the Owner's Manuals are located in the ap‐

pendix of the printed quick reference for the

vehicle.

For your own safety

Maintenance and repairs

Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern

materials and high-performance electronics,

requires suitable maintenance and repair

methods.

Therefore, have this work performed only by a

BMW center or a workshop that works accord‐

ing to BMW repair procedures with appropri‐

ately trained personnel.

If this work is not carried out properly, there is

the danger of subsequent damage and related

safety hazards.

Parts and Accessories

For your own safety, use genuine parts and ac‐

cessories approved by BMW. When you pur‐

chase accessories tested and approved by

BMW and Genuine BMW Parts, you simultane‐

ously acquire the assurance that they have

been thoroughly tested by BMW to ensure op‐

timum performance when installed on your ve‐

hicle. BMW warrants these parts to be free

from defects in material and workmanship.

BMW will not accept any liability for damage

resulting from installation of parts and acces‐

sories not approved by BMW. BMW cannot

test every product made by other manufactur‐

ers to verify if it can be used on a BMW safely

and without risk to either the vehicle, its opera‐

tion, or its occupants. Genuine BMW Parts,

BMW Accessories and other products ap‐

proved by BMW, together with professional

advice on using these items, are available from

all BMW centers. Installation and operation of

non-BMW approved accessories such as

alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors,

wheels, suspension components, brake dust

shields, telephones, including operation of any

mobile phone from within the vehicle without

using an externally mounted antenna, or trans‐

ceiver equipment, for instance, CBs, walkie-

talkies, ham radios or similar accessories, may

cause extensive damage to the vehicle, com‐

promise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's

electrical system or affect the validity of the

BMW Limited Warranty. See your BMW center

for additional information. Maintenance, re‐

placement, or repair of the emission control

devices and systems may be performed by any

automotive repair establishment or individual

using any certified automotive part.

California Proposition 65 Warning

California laws require us to state the following

warning:

Notes

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 911 091 - VI/13

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automo‐

bile components and parts, including compo‐

nents found in the interior furnishings in a vehi‐

cle, contain or emit chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects and reproductive harm. In addition,

certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain

products of component wear contain or emit

chemicals known to the State of California to

cause cancer and birth defects or other repro‐

ductive harm. Battery posts, terminals and re‐

lated accessories contain lead and lead com‐

pounds. Wash your hands after handling. Used

engine oil contains chemicals that have caused

cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect

your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and

water.

Service and warranty

We recommend that you read this publication

thoroughly. Your vehicle is covered by the fol‐

lowing warranties:

▷New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

▷Rust Perforation Limited Warranty.

▷Federal Emissions System Defect War‐

ranty.

▷Federal Emissions Performance Warranty.

▷California Emission Control System Lim‐

ited Warranty.

Detailed information about these warranties is

listed in the Service and Warranty Information

Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and

Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models.

Your vehicle has been specifically adapted and

designed to meet the particular operating con‐

ditions and homologation requirements in your

country and continental region in order to de‐

liver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle

is operated under those conditions. If you wish

to operate your vehicle in another country or

region, you may be required to adapt your ve‐

hicle to meet different prevailing operating

conditions and homologation requirements.

You should also be aware of any applicable

warranty limitations or exclusions for such

country or region. In such case, please contact

Customer Relations for further information.

Maintenance

Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain the

road safety, operational reliability and the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Specifications for required maintenance meas‐

ures:

▷BMW Maintenance system

▷Service and Warranty Information Booklet

for US models

▷Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for

Canadian models

If the vehicle is not maintained according to

these specifications, this could result in seri‐

ous damage to the vehicle. Such damage is

not covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited

Warranty.

Data memory

Many electronic components on your vehicle

are equipped with data memories that tempo‐

rarily or permanently store technical informa‐

tion about the condition of the vehicle, events

and faults. This technical information generally

documents the state of a component, a mod‐

ule, a system or the environment:

▷Operating states of system components,

fill levels for instance.

▷Status messages for the vehicle and from

its individual components, e.g., wheel rota‐

tion speed/ vehicle speed, deceleration,

transverse acceleration.

▷Malfunctions and faults in important sys‐

tem components, e.g., lights and brakes.

▷Responses by the vehicle to special situa‐

tions, e.g., deployment of an airbag, en‐

gagement of stability control systems.

▷Ambient conditions, such as temperature.

Notes

8Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 911 091 - VI/13

This data is purely technical in nature and is

used to detect and correct faults and to opti‐

mize vehicle functions. Motion profiles over

routes traveled cannot be created from this

data. When service offerings are used, e.g., re‐

pair services, service processes, warranty

claims, quality assurance, this technical infor‐

mation can be read out from the event and

fault memories by the service personnel, in‐

cluding the manufacturer, using special diag‐

nostic tools. You can obtain further information

there if it is needed. After a fault is corrected,

the information in the fault memory is deleted

or overwritten on a continuous basis.

When the vehicle is in use, situations are con‐

ceivable in which it might be possible to asso‐

ciate this technical data with individuals if it is

combined with other information, e.g., an acci‐

dent report, damage to the vehicle, eye wit‐

ness accounts — possibly with the assistance

of an expert.

Additional functions that are contractually

agreed with the customer, such as vehicle lo‐

cating in an emergency, enable certain vehicle

data to be transmitted from the vehicle.

Event Data Recorder EDR

This vehicle is equipped with an event data re‐

corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to

record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐

tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting

a road obstacle, data that will assist in under‐

standing how a vehicle’s systems performed.

The EDR is designed to record data related to

vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a

short period of time, typically 30 seconds or

less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record

such data as:

▷How various systems in your vehicle were

operating.

▷Whether or not the driver and passenger

safety belts were fastened.

▷How far, if at all, the driver was depressing

the accelerator and/or brake pedal.

▷How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better under‐

standing of the circumstances in which

crashes and injuries occur.

EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a

nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are

recorded by the EDR under normal driving

conditions and no personal data, e.g., name,

gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.

However, other parties, such as law enforce‐

ment, could combine the EDR data with the

type of personally identifying data routinely ac‐

quired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special

equipment is required, and access to the vehi‐

cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve‐

hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law

enforcement, that have the special equipment,

can read the information if they have access to

the vehicle or the EDR.

Reporting safety defects

For US customers

The following only applies to vehicles owned

and operated in the US.

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect

which could cause a crash or could cause in‐

jury or death, you should immediately inform

the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis‐

tration NHTSA, in addition to notifying BMW of

North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, West‐

wood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone

1-800-831-1117.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may

open an investigation, and if it finds that a

safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it

may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in

individual problems between you, your dealer,

or BMW of North America, LLC.

Hybrid system

At a glance

1Combustion engine

2Electric motor

3Control-system electronics

4High-voltage cables (orange)

5High-voltage battery

6Auxiliary battery, combustion engine

The concept

The hybrid system makes it possible to opti‐

mize fuel consumption and driving characteris‐

tics.

An electric motor assists the combustion en‐

gine. In certain driving situations, the vehicle

can also be driven using only electric power,

thereby reducing fuel consumption.

In addition to this, the electric motor acts like

an alternator: during braking and coasting, it

converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into elec‐

tricity. The current is stored in the high-voltage

battery and is used to drive the electric motor.

The hybrid system combines the following

functions:

▷Acceleration boost: ASSIST and eBOOST.

▷Electric driving: eDRIVE.

▷Automatic stopping of the combustion en‐

gine during coasting: coasting.

▷Driving with the combustion engine: DRIVE

▷Energy recovery: CHARGE.

▷Automatic engine start-stop function.

▷Auxiliary functions of the automatic climate

control.

▷Adapting to the course of the road.

Functions

Electric driving: eDRIVE

Under certain conditions, refer to page ,68

the vehicle is powered only by the electric mo‐

tor.

Acceleration boost: ASSIST and

eBOOST

Driving off and accelerating require a lot of en‐

ergy.

To optimize acceleration and to reduce fuel

consumption, the electric motor boosts the

combustion engine. To do this, the electric

motor uses the energy saved in the high volt‐

age battery.

The ASSIST acceleration boost is automati‐

cally controlled and is not indicated in the in‐

strument cluster.

BMW ActiveHybrid At a glance

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 911 091 - VI/13

Coasting

The engine is automatically switched off. This

driving condition is referred to as coasting, re‐

fer to page .68

Driving with the combustion engine:

DRIVE

The combustion engine, refer to page ,69

provides the primary drive power to move the

vehicle. If necessary, the high-voltage battery

is charged at the same time.

The hybrid system always starts the combus‐

tion engine automatically.

Energy recovery: CHARGE

The high-voltage battery of the hybrid system

is charged through energy recovery.

The electric motor acts as a generator and

converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into

electric current.

Charging can take place in various situations:

▷When the vehicle is coasting if the acceler‐

ator is not pressed.

▷During vehicle braking.

When exerting gentle pressure on the brakes,

the vehicle is only braked by the electric motor.

When the brake pedal is depressed further, the

brake system is activated additionally. This is

why only part of the brake energy is used to

charge the high-voltage battery when exerting

firm pressure on the brake.

Foresighted driving and the early reduction of

speed are important to make full use of the hy‐

brid characteristics of your vehicle.

Automatic Engine Start/Stop Function

The Auto Start/Stop function, refer to

page , switches the combustion engine off67

when coasting, braking and while the vehicle is

stopped. Convenience functions such as the

automatic climate control are supplied by the

high-voltage battery and can remain switched

on.

Auxiliary functions of the automatic

climate control

The hybrid system makes it possible to oper‐

ate the automatic climate control even with the

combustion engine switched off. In this way,

the interior of the vehicle can be cooled for ex‐

ample during a break in the journey by residual

cooling or even before the trip by auxiliary air

conditioning.

▷Residual cooling, refer to page .150

▷Auxiliary air conditioning, refer to

page 150

Adapting to the course of the road

When destination guidance is active, the hy‐

brid system uses the navigation data. This

makes it possible to switch off the combustion

engine upon reaching the destination zone

even before reaching the destination.

Pay attention to the notes in Adapting to the

course of the road, refer to page .84

Display

The displays of the hybrid system, refer to

page , provide information about the cur‐82

rent state of hybrid operation and show the

system activity in a chart.

Energy-saving driving

To save energy while driving, read the follow‐

ing information:

▷Saving fuel, refer to page 174

▷Using the hybrid system efficiently, refer to

page 166

▷ECO PRO mode, refer to page .175

ment is also described that is not available in a

for safety-related functions and systems.

Active Cruise Control with

Stop & Go function, ACC

The concept

This system can be used to select a desired

speed that the vehicle will maintain automati‐

cally on clear roads.

To the extent possible, the system automati‐

cally adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle

ahead of you.

The distance that the vehicle maintains to the

vehicle ahead of you can be varied.

For safety reasons, it depends on the speed.

To maintain a certain distance, the system au‐

tomatically decelerates, applies the brakes

lightly, or accelerates again if the vehicle ahead

begins moving faster.

If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, the

system is able to detect this within the given

system limits. If the vehicle ahead of your

drives away again from a halt, your vehicle is

able to accelerate if operated accordingly.

Even if some time passes before the vehicle

drives away again, the BMW can still be accel‐

erated automatically and simply.

As soon as the road is clear, it accelerates to

the desired speed.

The speed is also maintained on downhill gra‐

dients, but may not be maintained on uphill

slopes if engine power is insufficient.

General information

When ECO PRO is activated, cruise control is

also set to a driving style that saves on fuel

consumption.

Notes

Personal responsibility

The system does not relieve the driver of

the responsibility to adapt his or her speed,

distance and driving style to the traffic condi‐

tions. Drive attentively, and react to the current

traffic events. Intervene actively when neces‐

sary, e.g., by braking, steering or making an

evasive maneuver, otherwise, there is danger

of an accident.◀
