When Does the Economy Mode Activate on a Citroen Xsara Picasso?

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010

Video tutorial

Today's guide will show when the energy economy function activates on the Citroen Xsara Picasso, as well as on other models from the manufacturer. The energy economy mode activates only when the vehicle is off; at this moment, the battery is not being charged by the alternator, which could drain quickly if there are active consumers like the radio or others.

Thus, the energy economy system activates, preventing battery drain; it may also indicate that the battery voltage is no longer at an optimal level.
