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

inutes.
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.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, USB...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Treble,
Medium, Bass) can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changing source
(radio, USB...). Check that the audio settings are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to select
automatic sound adjustment (Low, Medium,
High).
Check the quality and format of your recording.
With the engine off, the
system switches off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system changes to economy mode
and switches off to preserve the state of charge of the vehicle's
battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
