BMW 3: Climate Control
As in previous BMW hybrid vehicles, an electrically powered air conditioning
compressor is used in
the G20 PHEV. Because the A/C compressor has an electric motor, it is possible
to operate the air
conditioning independently of the combustion engine. Thus the customer can enjoy
the cooling effect
of the air conditioning even while driving in pure electric mode and while
stopped.
The high-voltage battery unit is cooled by the vehicle's refrigerant's circuit.
The stationary climate control is also available in the G20 PHEV.

In the G20 PHEV an acoustic protection for pedestrians is used as standard.
To protect pedestrians
a distinctive sound created specially for electric BMW models is generated
during electric driving.

Data transfer
Concept
The vehicle offers different services, whose use
requires a data transfer to BMW or a service provider.
The data transfer can be deactivated for
some services.
General information
When the data transfer is deactivated, the respective
service cannot be used.
