ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-func-
tion screen indicating that the vehi-
cle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on
standby.
If the telephone is being used at this
time:
- it will be maintained for 5 minutes with radio-CD hands-free kit,
-
it will be interrupted after 10 minutes with the MyWay audio-navigation
system,
- you can complete your call with the NaviDrive system.
This period may be signifi cantly re-
duced if the battery charge is low. Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated
automatically next time the vehicle
is driven.

 In order to resume the use of
these functions immediately,
start the engine and let it run for
a few minutes.
The time available will then be dou-
ble the duration for which the engine
was left running. However, this time
will always be between fi ve and thirty
minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting (refer
to the corresponding para-
graph).
