Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain functions according to the level of charge
r
emaining in the battery.
When
the vehicle is being driven, the load
r
eduction function temporarily deactivates
c
ertain functions, such as the air conditioning,
t
he heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically
as soon as conditions permit.System
which manages the duration of use of c
ertain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of
charge in the battery.
After
the engine has stopped, you can
s
till use functions such as the audio and
telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped
b
eam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for
a
maximum combined duration of about
f
orty minutes.
Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
A message then appears in the instrument p
anel screen indicating that the vehicle has
s
witched to economy mode and the active
f
unctions are put on standby.
If
a telephone call is being made at this time, it
w
ill be maintained for around 10 minutes with
t
he Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio
s
ystem.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically n ext time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately,
start the engine and let it run:
-
f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
e
quipment for approximately five minutes,
-
f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
e
quipment for up to approximately
t
hirty minutes.
Let
the engine run for the duration specified to
e
