Citroen C3: Energy economy mode

Citroen C3 Owners Manual

System which manages the period 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 headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period ofthirty minutes.

This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.

Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message appears on the multifunction 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 on the MyWay audio navigation system, it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically the next time the vehicle is driven.

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 fi ve and thirty minutes.

A fl at battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the corresponding paragraph).
