There is a mode you can use to run the REX whenever you want. It?s called Exhaust-gas test mode.
If you want to start the combustion engine for an exhaust-gas test in the BMW I01 with range extender, you may do so if the following operating conditions are met:
-Tailgate is open
-Switch on ignition and engage drive position ?P? (without braking)
-Press and hold down the accelerator pedal within 60 seconds
-Press the brake three times within 20 seconds and hold
-Release the accelerator pedal and press the START-STOP button when the brake is actuated
The combustion engine starts if the SOC of the high-voltage battery is less than 75%.
A Check Control message, ?Exhaust-gas test mode activated? is given when the combustion engine is running. The empty run point is automatically approached during the warm-up phase. Using the pedal sensor position, two speed points of the combustion engine are selected for the measurement.
The ?Exhaust-gas test? mode is automatically ended if these following conditions are met:
-After 20 minutes of running
-If the vehicle is started
-Switching off the ignition
