ENERGY ECONOMY
MODE
System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
This period may be signifi cantly re-
duced if the battery charge is low.

Switching to economy mode

Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
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 this
time:
- it will be maintained for fi ve min-
utes with hands-free kit of your
Audio system,
- it will be maintained for ten min-
XI
utes with your eMyWay.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to resume the use of

the engine and let it run for a few
minutes.

ble the duration for which the engine
was left running. However, this time
will always be between fi ve and thir-
ty minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
!
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding section).
