How to deactivate the economy mode of the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this short guide, we will see how the active energy saving mode of the Citroen C3 (but also on most models of the manufacturer) works, by deactivating this system. The active energy saving mode activates when, with the car off, there are energy absorptions such as turning on the radio or the instrument panel; after a few minutes, in fact, the control unit automatically turns off all systems to safeguard the battery life. To deactivate this mode, it is necessary to restart the engine, thus restoring the battery charging cycle.
