Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / October 2006'economy mode'?
My 02 406 Exec has just flashed up 'Economy mode active' on the display. I was worried this was the same as 'safe mode' but the car is behaving normally and the message has not rturned on subsequent journeys. Any ideas anyone, regards Phil. > My 02 406 Exec has just flashed up 'Economy mode active' on the display.

It means that you have left a door open for more than the allotted time and the interior lights have been switched off to save the battery. It will revert to normal as soon as you next start the engine. >> My 02 406 Exec has just flashed up 'Economy mode active' on the display. >> I [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Brilliant, just what I needed to know. Thanks Brian Regards Phil This also happens if you leave the radio on (with or wothout the keys in the ignition)...I think the cut of time is 30 mins...maybe a bit less. The only way to remove this is to start the engine and turn it off again. Dan. Philip Western wrote: > My 02 406 Exec has just flashed up 'Economy mode active' on the display.

What a stupid idea. IS there any way to permanently disable it? starting then stopping the engine uses much more power than running the radio.

But I could be wrong, which if I am, then it is a stupid idea.

If you break down (in my case the engine wouldn't start) & need to be towed, it makes sense to have your ignition on so that you can use your indicators. Additionally, as in my case, you may also need the window open. I was left with this cutting out on me before I got all the way home (hence no indicators) &, when I arrived home, I couldn't get the windows closed!

How about simply resetting it by turning on/off the ignition?? This is confirmation. I tried it last night on my 2003 307 and no you must start the engine to remove the Economy Mode display. The same thing with a Citreon C4.

I can only think that the logic is you will put some charge in the battery by starting the engine, rather than just resetting it and then using it for another half hour. |
