Economy Mode ?

[The Equalizer]

Hey Y'all

 

I was just polishing the C8, listening to some Elvis & suddenly The King stopped singing so I poked me head inside the car to see whats going on & my car had gone into economy mode.

So I checked the handbook & in the section under multifunction display messages it said "Economy Mode, see Economy Mode" & I couldn't find any other mention of it anywhere in the book.

 

The only way I could get the stereo back on was to turn the car on & then off.

 

I'm sure there must be a way to turn off the Economy Mode ? ? ?

 

Anyone ? ? ?

 

Regards

Economy mode is activated if the ignition is left on for a long period without the alternator providing a charge.

 

In the good old days you could have left your radio on and subsequently had a flat battery when you finished your cleaning job.

 

To reduce the chance of this citroen have built a timer into the main computer to 'manage the customers wishes'.

 

IE. you want to listen to the radio.....thats fine, but i'll turn it off after half hour....if you want to carry on listening start me up so i can charge the battery......if you dont leave me to charge for long enough i will turn off annywhere between 2 and 30 minutes.

 

You can get the economy mode time lengthened, but i would advise you against it......have you ever tried bumpstarting a C8?
