Electrical Energy Economy Mode; Changing A Wiper Blade - CITROEN C1 2015 Handbook

Practical information

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
wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of
twenty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
Switching to economy mode
Once this time has elapsed the active functions
are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run for at
least 5 minutes.
* Only on vehicles with the "Keyless Entry and
Starting" system.

Let the engine run for the duration

restart the engine in order to charge the
battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
