Energy economy modeSystem which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
A fter the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps,
e
tc. for a maximum combined period of thirty minutes.
This
period may be greatly reduced if
t
he battery is not fully charged.
A
flat battery prevents the engine from
s
tarting (refer to the corresponding
par
agraph).
If
the telephone is being used at the
s
ame time on the eMyWay audio
n
avigation system, it will be interrupted
a
fter 10 minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears on the multifunction screen indicating
t
hat the vehicle has switched to economy mode
a
nd the active functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically the next time the vehicle is driven.
F

n order to resume the use of these
f
unctions immediately, start the engine and
l
et it run for a few minutes.
The
time available to you will then be double
t
he period for which the engine is left running.
H
owever, this period will always be between
five
and thirty minutes.
