ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with the key
in the ignition position, certain functions
(windscreen wiper, electric windows,
courtesy lights, audio equipment, etc.) can
only be used for a cumulative duration of
thirty minutes, to prevent discharging of the
battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, the active
functions are put on standby and the battery
warning light flashes accompanied by a
message on the display.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double
the time for which the engine was left
running. However, this time will always
be between five and thirty minutes.
A flat battery will prevent the engine from
