Energy economy mode
After switching off the engine (position 1 - Stop),
you can still use functions such as the audio
and telematic system, the wipers, dipped beam,
courtesy lamps, etc., for maximum cumulative
period of 30 minutes.
For more information, refer to the "Energy
economy mode" section.
Key reminder
If the key is left in the ignition switch, an
audible signal sounds when the driver's
door is opened.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key, which would weigh down on its

cause a malfunction.
