Practical information
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
For more information about the Engine
technical data and towed loads and
particularly the maximum load applied
on the towing device, refer to the
corresponding section.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10 minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
Remove the quickly detachable towball
when not towing a trailer.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
-
for less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
for more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately thirty
minutes.
Energy economy mode
-
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for
a maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Roof bars/Roof rack
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and its stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars and racks, at
least before each trip.
Switching to this mode
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12 V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
