Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.) In order to resume the use of thesefunctions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run:
- for less than ten minutes, to use theequipment for approximately five minutes,
- for more than ten minutes, to use theequipment for up to approximately thir ty minutes.

Let the engine run for the duration specified toensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
