Switch off any functions that are not currently needed

BMW X5 / BMW X5 Owners Manual / Driving tips / Things to remember when driving / Saving fuel / 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 consume additional fuel, especially in city and stopand- go traffic.

Therefore, switch off these functions if they are not actually needed.
