a

ll operations on the battery
must  be  carried  out  in  a  well  ventilated
 area  and  away  from  naked
 flames  and  sources  of  
sparks,

 
so
 
as
 
to
 
avoid
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
explosion

  or   fire.
Do
 
not
 
try
 
to
 
charge
 
a

LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages  the  use  of  cer -
tain  functions  according  to  the  level  of  
charge

  remaining   in   the   battery.
When the vehicle  is  being  driven,  the  load
 reduction  function  temporarily  de -
activates certain functions, such as the
air
 
conditioning,
 
the
 
heated
 
rear
 
screen...
The deactivated functions  are  reactivat -
ed  automatically  as  soon  as  conditions  
permit.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages  the  period  of  use of certain functions to conserve a
sufficient
  level   of   charge   in   the   battery.
After
 
the
 
engine
 
has
 
stopped,
 
you
 
can
 
still

 
use
 
functions
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
audio
 
equipment,

  windscreen  
wipers,
 
dipped
 
beam

 
headlamps,
  courtesy  
lamps,
 
etc.
 
for

 
a
 
maximum
 
combined
 
period
 
of
 
thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period  has  elapsed,  a  message appears
 in  the  screen  indicating  that  the vehicle

 
has
 
switched
 
to
 
economy
 
mode and

 
the
 
active
 
functions
 
are
 
put
 
on
 
standby
.
If the telephone  is  being  used  at  the
 same  time  on  the  navigation  
system,

 
it
 
will
 
be
 
interrupted
 
after 10

  minutes.

 flat

 
battery
 
prevents
 
the

from
 
starting
 
(refer
 
to
 
the
 
corresponding

  paragraph).
Exiting economy mode
These functions  are  reactivated  auto -
matically  the  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
 
to
 
you
 
will
 
then
 
be double

 
the
 
period
 
for
 
which
 
the
 
engine is left running.  However ,  this  period  will
always   be   between   five   and   thirty   minutes.
This period may  be  greatly  re -
duced  if  the  battery  is  not  fully  
charged.
CHANGING A WIPER BLADE
