C4 grand picasso energy economy mode

[Northman1968]

Just bought a Citroen C4 grand picasso and I have noticed that when you turn the engine off, I then try and listen to the radio or even activate the windows, it then goes into ," ENERGY ECONOMY MODE ACTIVATED," and then shuts down,this is extremely annoying,is there anyway I can turn this off as I have looked but it doesn't seem to give any options,any help much appreciated thanks

Welcome along.

Unfortunately you can't disable this, it's a failsafe to protect the battery. However if it comes on soon after shut down, even after a decent run, it probably indicates the battery is past its best.

It is a safety measurement for draining the battery. You can turn it off only via Lexia diagnostic tool. I don't recommend it.
For me, the economy mode usually pops up after about 15-20 minutes of using the battery only. If it starts sooner, it might be because of a weak battery. If so, check battery health and charging capacity of the alternator.
