Hi - that is not economy mode - that sounds like you have not followed the battery disconnect / BSI reset procedure before removing the battery and this has upset the electronics, so you immobiliser / transponder may have gone into anti scanning mode. Try the reset procedure below.

Read my post here and follow the procedure shown:

Yep - economy mode should just clear when you re-start the car.
So sounds like something else is at play that is preventing you from restarting it in the first place.
