ECONOMY MODE
after the engine has stopped, with
the key in the ignition position, certain
functions (windscreen wiper
, electric
windows, courtesy lamps, audio
equipment, etc.) can only be used for a
cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to
prevent discharging of the battery.
Once the thirty minutes have elapsed,
the active functions are put on standby
and the battery warning lamp flashes
accompanied by a message in the
screen.
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 starting.
