PRACTICAL INFORMATION

LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions in relation to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily deac-
tivates certain functions, such as the air
conditioning, the rear screen de-icing...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
!
At the risk of discharging the bat-
tery, the deactivated functions can
be reactivated manually.
