How do you deactivate the Eco mode of the Citroen C3?

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

The Eco mode present in Citroen cars in general, even though in this specific case we are talking about the Citroen C3, is used to preserve the charge of the vehicle's power battery when it is very low. In short, it deactivates non-essential utilities, starting with the radio, so as not to risk not being able to start the engine and remain stranded. Unfortunately, there is no default method that allows for its deactivation, the only way is to go to the workshop and perform a forced action by connecting an electronic tool to the OBD socket, interfacing with the control unit and, indeed, forcing the above-mentioned mode.
