    406 2.0 HDI Estate, 52 plate, showed 'Economy Mode' on the display.
    Don't know what triggered it.
    Referred to handbook and the relevant page is among a section of those that
    are missing.
    So what is 'Economy Mode'?

    Car works OK but I'm curious!

    Which display? I think there was a thread about it down below somehwere.

    If it's the air con display then it means your air con is off i.e. not
    automatic mode or constant aircon on mode.

    Justin unbuttoned Clothilde's tight blouse and her breasts fell out. He
    picked them up and put them back in again.
    "Thank you," said Clothilde, polite even in passion. "I'm always losing
    them."

    Thanks Malc,
    It's the main display panel
    I think the thread explains it.
    I'll have a play in the morning.

  4. Posted same message few weeks ago. Turns out that economy mode is activated
    if you leave doors open or radio on after a set time. It means a lot of the
    electrics are disabled to stop battery drain. Don't worry, it resorts to
    normal mode as soon as you fire up the engine (but not by just priming the
    egnition at the second click)

    Hi there, I have a 51 plate 406 and this happens when the engine is
    switched off and the radio is left on for more than 30 minutes. I
    assume that it is designed that way to prevent the battery from going
    flat. If you start the engine again all is wel

    Thanks to all who replied.
    Haven't managed to be patient enough to wait 30 mins to see it again for
    myself!
    Guess I must have done once though.
