Re: Ds7 won't start
Economy mode does not affect starting or running of the engine, nor does it prevent diagnostic communication with the BSI or engine ECU. So I think you have a different problem.

Re: Ds7 won't start
If you've replaced the battery, you need to reinitialise the fobs to unlock the electronic steering lock and permit starting. Look in your owner handbook for the procedure (under the section for replacing fob batteries and reinitialising).
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

Re: Ds7 won't start
The issue is Ds itself) Please read my posts DS7 faults after being unused for 3 weeks. You can try bsi reset, Had one situation in citroen c4 picasso that steering wheel was so tight turned that electric steering lock didn't have enough power to operate. Try to pry on the steering wheel to release the pressure from steering lock and start it. It might help
