Tyre under-inflation detection
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which informs
you of the state of your tyres.
It does not replace either vigilance or
responsibility on the part of the driver. Economy mode
After switching off the engine, some
systems (radio, wipers, electric
windows, opening roof, electric seats,
telephone, video, interior lighting,
motorised tailgate, etc.) are supplied
electrically for a maximum of no more
than around one hour, so as to avoid
discharging the battery.
This period may be reduced
considerably if the battery’s state of
charge is low.

Once this period is over, a message
is displayed on the instrument panel
screen and the active functions are
placed on standby.
These functions will be automatically
reactivated when the vehicle is
restarted.
