functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load

certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.

a maximum combined duration of about
forty minutes.

functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run:
-

automatically as soon as conditions permit.
