LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according 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 heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.








ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

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

for a maximum combined period of thirty
minutes.

Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a mes-
sage appears in the screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to econ-
omy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.

A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).


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 engine
and let it run for a few minutes.
