Special position of the
windscreen wipers

To maintain the effectiveness
of the "fl at-blade" type of wiper
blades, it is advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using
soapy water,

- avoid using them to retain
cardboard on the windscreen,

- replace them at the fi rst signs
of wear.

This position permits release of the
windscreen wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement
of the blades. It can also be useful, in
winter, to detach the blades from the
windscreen.



)
Any action on the wiper stalk imme-
diately after switching off the ignition
places the blades vertically on the
screen.

)
To park the blades again, switch on
the ignition and operate the wiper
stalk.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
203








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

System which manages the period of
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
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
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.
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the navigation
system, it will be interrupted after
10 minutes.
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.
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 fi ve and thirty minutes.

This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
