Load reduction mode
This system 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
and the heated rear screen.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents the bonnet being opened
when the left-hand front door is closed.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
After the second unlocking, the bonnet is
no longer held. Be careful not to open the
bonnet suddenly in windy conditions or when
a vehicle is approaching - Risk of damage to
the bonnet and hinges!
An audible signal supplements the alert
(warning lamp and message) if the speed is
higher than 4 mph (6 km/h) and the bonnet is
not properly closed.
Immediately get out of the vehicle and,
depending on the situation, raise and lower
the bonnet to close it, or raise the bonnet
completely to secure it with its stay.

exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
