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 deactivates
certain functions, such as the air condition-
ing, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at this
time, it will be maintained for 5 minutes
with your Peugeot Connect Sound's
Bluetooth system.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration 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 duration of
thirty minutes.

These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.

functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
