MONITORING
Tyre deflation detection
The tyre defl ation detection system is
a driving aid which informs you of the
condition of your tyres.

responsibility on the part of the driver.
Economy mode
After switching off the engine, some
systems (radio, wipers, electric
windows, opening roof, electric seats,
telephone, video, interior lighting,
motorised tailgate, etc.) are supplied
electrically for a maximum of no more
than around one hour, so as to avoid
discharging the battery.
This period may be reduced
considerably if the battery's state of
charge is low.
Once this period is over, a message is
displayed on the instrument panel screen
and the active functions are placed on
standby.
These functions will be automatically rea-
ctivated when the vehicle is restarted.
