Load reduction modeSystem which manages the use of certain functions   according   to   the   level   of   charge  
r

emaining   in   the   battery.
When
  the   vehicle   is   being   driven,   the   load  
r

eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates  
c

ertain   functions,   such   as   the   air   conditioning,  
t

he   heated   rear   screen...
The
  deactivated   functions   are   reactivated  
a

utomatically   as   soon   as   conditions   permit.Energy economy modeSystem which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of c
harge   in   the   battery.
After
  the   engine   has   stopped,   you   can   still   use   functions   such   as   the   audio   equipment,   windscreen  
w

ipers,   dipped   beam   headlamps,   courtesy   lamps,   etc.   for   a   maximum   combined   period   of  
t

hirty minutes. This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if  
t

he   battery   is   not   fully   charged.
A
  flat   battery   prevents   the   engine   from  
s

tarting.
If
  the   telephone   is   being   used   at   the  
s

ame   time,   it   will   be   interrupted   after  
10
 m

inutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears   in   the   screen   indicating   that   the  
v

ehicle   has   switched   to   economy   mode   and   the  
a

ctive   functions   are   put   on   standby.
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  
f

unctions   immediately,   start   the   engine   and  
l

The
  time   available   to   you   will   then   be   double  
t

he   period   for   which   the   engine   is   left   running.  
H

owever,   this   period   will   always   be   between  
f

Towing with the gT RACIn g version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a t
owbar.   The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v

re

commended

ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine
