ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a mes-
sage appears on the
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used
at the same time on the MyWay
audio navigation system, it will
be interrupted after 10 minutes.
P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left
running. However, this period will always
be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
multifunction
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).
