My4XE also has the same "electric mode temporarily unavailable" while travelling up a 15% hill at around 40 miles per hour. However lately (not sure if its related to the cooler weather) this message is now appearing regularly on every trip even on flat roads sometimes also combined with a "cabin heating or cooling" message. At outside temperatures of about 45 degrees the car will run in electric mode for 5 minutes but then switches to Hybrid. After running in hybrid for 5 minutes Electric then becomes available again. Not sure if this is a safety feature to keep the the gas engine warm, in order to avoid excessive wear and tear if the engine kicks in at high revs during driving?
Also at start up in the mornings the gas engine now turns on immediately and it sounds like the choke is activated for 1 or 2 minutes with the engine revs much higher than normal idle speed. During summer on start up the gas engine never turned on and it was always just the electric motor. Usually its then combined with a "cabin heating or cooling" message.
Had it at the Dealer but their response was that its completely normal. Feedback on similar experiences will be much appreciated!
