Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.

reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode

certain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
after the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined period of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
Switching to economy mode
once this period has elapsed, a message
appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at the
same time on the eMyWay audio
navigation system, it will be interrupted
after 10 minutes.
Practical information
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.
F In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thirty minutes.

starting (refer to the corresponding
paragraph).

Questions and answers
I have a citroen c3 2010 and i open the care with remote from outside and i dont open the dor!!after 30 or 40 seconds he lock agein automatic!!how to fix this problem?thanx
To fix the automatic locking issue on a 2010 Citroën C3 when the door is not opened after using the remote, check the following:
1. Wiring Check – Inspect the wiring between the door and the door pillar for any damage.
2. Remote Key Test – Try using a spare remote key. If the issue occurs only with one key, the lock button on the faulty remote may be stuck.
3. Manual Unlock Test – Use the key in the door lock instead of the remote. If the car does not relock, the issue is likely with the remote key.
4. BSI Reset – Perform a BSI reset, as this can sometimes resolve locking issues.
5. Battery Check – Ensure the car battery and the key fob battery are fully charged.
6. Child Lock Inspection – If the child lock button is illuminated, check if it is affecting the central locking system.
7. Lock/Unlock Cycle – Try locking and unlocking the car manually using the key to reset the system.
If these steps do not resolve the problem, further diagnosis of the locking relays or the BSI may be required.
