PRACTICAL INFORMATION
151
CHANGING A WINDSCREEN
WIPER BLADE
Placing the wiper blades in the
maintenance position
☞ Less than one minute after switch-
ing off the ignition, activate the
windscreen wiper stalk to position
the blades in the centre of the
windscreen (maintenance posi-
tion).
Replacing a blade
☞ Lift the arm, then unclip the blade
and remove it.
☞ Fit the new blade and fold down
the arm.
To park the blades, switch on the
ignition and operate the wind-
screen wiper stalk.
REMOVING A MAT
When removing a mat on the driver's
or passenger's side, push back the
seat as far as possible and remove
the clips.
To remove a rear mat, push the cor-
responding front seat forward and
remove the clip.
On refitting, position the mat and
press firmly to refit the securing clips.
LOAD REDUCTION
When driving, certain functions
(heated rear screen, heating system
for passenger compartment of diesel
vehicles, etc.) may be switched off
temporarily, depending on the level
of battery charge.
Reactivation of the functions on
standby is automatic, as soon as the
battery permits.
A flat battery prevents
the engine from starting.
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, electric
windows, sunroof, rear electric blind,
electric seats, audio equipment, tele-
phone etc) can only be used for thir-
ty minutes, to prevent discharging
the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, the
message "Economy mode active"
appears on the multi–function dis-
play and the active functions are put
on standby.
These functions are automatically
reactivated next time the vehicle is
driven.
Note: if the telephone is being used
when economy mode starts, it will
still be possible to finish the call.
