Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After switching off the engine and for a
maximum cumulative period of around
40 minutes, you can continue to use functions
such as the audio and telematics system,
the wipers, the dipped beam headlamps, the
courtesy lamps, etc.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically
reactivated the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f
or less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5


minutes,
-

f
or more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30


minutes.A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12
V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning
and the heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit. 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.
Roof bars/Roof rack
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the roof bars and racks approved for the
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars and racks.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and its stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before
each trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
