How do you deactivate the energy saving mode in Citroen cars?

Model: Citroen C4 Picasso MK 2 - Years 2013-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

The energy saving mode is activated in Citroen cars, such as the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso shown in the attached video, in order to preserve the not excellent charge of the car's partially discharged power supply battery. This can be recognized, for example, by the inability to turn on the car radio, air conditioning, etc., all less important utilities. For a quick deactivation of this mode, the advice is to open the hood and try to disconnect the negative pole of the battery, wait a few seconds, reconnect it and turn on the instrument panel.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
