Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain 
functions according to the level of charge 
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load 
reduction function temporarily deactivates 
certain functions, such as the air conditioning, 
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated 
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically 
the next time the vehicle is driven.
F 
I
 n order to resume the use of these 
functions immediately, start the engine and 
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double 
the period for which the engine is left running. 
However, this period will always be between 
five and thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message 
appears on the multifunction screen indicating 
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode 
and the active functions are put on standby.
A flat battery prevents the engine from 
starting (refer to the corresponding 
paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at the 
same time on the eMyWay audio 
navigation system, it will be interrupted 
after 10 minutes.
System which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of 
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment,
  windscreen 
wipers, dipped beam headlamps,   courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of 
thirty
 
 minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
