BMW 2015 BMW i8 Manual Do Proprietário

This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems. The respectively applicable country
provisions must be observed when using the
respective features and systems.

Moving parts need time to adjust to one an‐
other (break-in time).
The following instructions will help accomplish
a long vehicle life and good efficiency.
During break-in, do not use the Launch Con‐
trol, refer to page 

.

Do not exceed the maximum engine and road
speed:

▷

For gasoline engine 4,500 rpm and
100 mph/160 km/h.

Avoid full load or kickdown under all circum‐
stances.

The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be
increased.

Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur‐
ing circumstances when tires are brand-new;

they achieve their full traction potential after a
break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.

Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐
prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimal per‐
formance between brake discs and brake
pads. Drive moderately during this break-in pe‐
riod.

The same break-in procedures should be ob‐
served if any of the components above-men‐
tioned have to be renewed in the course of the
vehicle's operating life.

eDRIVE operates automatically. Proactive driv‐
ing utilizes energy consumption and energy re‐
covery optimally. Energy recovery is used to
charge the high-voltage battery. It is important
for the supply of electrical components and
thus a prerequisite for an extensive range. En‐
ergy consumption and recovery depend very
much, among other things, on your driving
style.

The driving style can be optimized using the
performance display in ECO PRO mode.
