Practical information  
Load reduction mode Energy economy 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...  
System which manages the period of use of  
certain functions to conserve a sufficient level  
of charge in the battery.

still use functions such as the audio

beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a  
maximum combined period of thirty minutes.

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  
five and thirty minutes.  
The deactivated functions are reactivated  
automatically as soon as conditions permit.  
This period may be greatly reduced if  
the battery is not fully charged.  
Switching to economy mode  
a flat battery prevents the engine from  
starting.  
once this period has elapsed, a message  
appears in the screen indicating that the  
vehicle has switched to economy mode and the  
active functions are put on standby.  
If the telephone is being used at the  
same time, it will be interrupted after  
10 minutes.
