Electrical energy economy mode*
System which manages the duration 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 system, windscreen
wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of
twenty
m

This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
Let the engine run for the duration
specified to ensure that the battery
charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously
restart the engine in order to charge the
battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
Refer to the "Battery" section.
Switching to economy mode
Once this time has elapsed the active functions
are put on standby.
