Description  
General information  
The expected range for the energy stored in  
the high-voltage battery is continuously dis-  
played in the instrument cluster.  
Blue icon: cold drivetrain.  
White icon: increased drive sys-  
tem temperature, for instance  
due to sustained or high  
power demand when driving  
on mountain roads.  
Always make sure that the range is sufficient  
for the planned trip. The range is dynamic and  
can abruptly change.  
The range can be reduced or increased based  
on the following factors:  
Depending on vehicle equip-  
ment and national-market ver-  
sion:  
Driving style.  
Drive power limitation defined  
via the BMW Digital Key.  
Traffic conditions.  
Drive mode change.  
Heavily discharged high-volt-  
age battery.  
Climate and terrain conditions.  
Automatic climate control settings.  
System-related functional limi-  
tation.  
After determination of a route through the
