Incorrect.
The car goes into Eco mode to save the battery so there is enough charge to start the car.
Eg if you're sitting in the car with the radio on for 20 mins or so the car will go into eco mode & disable some functions such as the radio & lights. |
How is that incorrect? surely if your battery is low on power that is classed as a problem? |
It is incorrect 
The BSI is programmed to stick the car in economy mode after a certain amount of time ( setting changeable with Peugeot planet, 15 minutes is the latest Peugeot main dealer setting ) no matter how good the battery is, you could have the car hooked up to the biggest 12 volt battery known to man, the BSI wont care it will still time out & put the car in to economy mode.

As above there are no faults with your car.

there is no by-pass for this feature, which is annoying, but it saves your battery dying if you leave your lights on.

You can turn it OFF in the BSI configuration set up with Peugeot Planet

Even needing a new battery wouldnt bring Eco mode up as a fault because (it's not a fault)

Exactly, its a designed in feature of the car that is explained in the owners manual ( when people actually bother to read it )

Yeah but I had a couple of anti pollution faults that needed fixing too, hence getting the fault codes read and having a service uncovered a load of other problems that were fixed

These would of had nothing to do with Eco mode tho.

There's nothing wrong with your car, it's just doing something PSA Peugeot / Citroen designed the software to do

This is how you fix it. Don't leave you stereo ,lights or enything else on while the engine isnt running and it wont do it.

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the accessories position,
certain functions (windscreen wiper,
electric windows, courtesy lights,
audio equipment etc.) can only be
used for thirty minutes, to prevent
discharging the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, the
message "Economy mode active"
appears on the multifunction display
and the active functions are put on
standby.
A flat battery will prevent the engine
from starting.
It's on page
104
Or
131
Or
132
Or
140
Or
161
Or
150
Or
156
Or
158
Depending on what version of the handbook your car has
