I just bought a new BMW iX and I'm not sure how to properly precondition the battery. Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to do it?
ReplyTo properly precondition your BMW iX's battery, first make sure the car is connected to a charger. Then, in the iDrive menu, select 'Vehicle' and then 'Air conditioning'. Under 'preconditioning', select 'battery' and adjust the desired temperature and time.
In order to avoid damaging your battery, it's important to precondition it before driving in extreme temperatures. You can do this by connecting your car to a charger and using the iDrive menu to select 'Vehicle' and then 'Air conditioning'. Under 'preconditioning', choose 'battery' and set the temperature to be slightly lower than your desired cabin temperature.
As a rule of thumb, it's best to precondition your BMW iX's battery when the car is still charging and has enough time to reach the desired temperature. This will optimize the battery's performance in harsh weather conditions. Don't forget to also turn off any unnecessary electrical systems in the car to conserve energy.
