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  
w

ipers,   dipped   beam   headlamps, courtesy   lamps,   etc.   for   a   maximum   combined   duration   of  
t

wenty minutes.
This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if   the   battery   is   not   fully   charged.
Let
  the   engine   run   for   the   duration  
s

pecified   to   ensure   that   the   battery  
c

harge   is   sufficient.
Do
  not   repeatedly   and   continuously  
r

estart   the   engine   in   order   to   charge   the  
b

attery.
A

  city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A
  clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may  
h

ave   an   adverse   effect   on   the   per formance  
o

f   the   air   conditioning   system   and   generate

dours.
When
  carrying   out   any   operation   on   the  
12
  V   battery,   refer   to   the   corresponding   section  
f

or   details   of   the   precautions   to   be   taken   before  
s

tarting   work.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance   (no   oil   change).
