2. Preliminary operations
2.1. All vehicles
Observe the order of the following operations :
- New vehicle preparation carried out (built-in systems interface (BSI1)shunt in the customer position)
- Check of the ancillaries battery charge status carried out
- No operating anomaly on the vehicle
2.2. Electric and hybrid vehicles
Fully charge the traction battery before putting the vehicle into "showroom" mode.
CAUTION : If the vehicle was left in "showroom" mode without being charged beforehand, the traction battery must be charged before the vehicle is started.
N.B. : If the traction battery is charged to 100%, the vehicle may be left in "showroom" mode for up to a maximum of 4 months. However, a full charge every 2 months is recommended.
ESSENTIAL : For electric and hybrid vehicles, carry out depowering procedures (Deactivate the circuit breaker , Ensure that the circuit breaker remains in the open position with a safety padlock).
ESSENTIAL : For hybrid vehicles, wait 90 seconds after the ignition is switched on and check that there are no mechanical noises before switching the vehicle to "showroom" mode.
2.3. (mild-hybrid) MHEV vehicles
ESSENTIAL : To keep the vehicle in showroom mode, the 12 V external supply must be connected and kept powered up at all times. Without an external supply, there is a significant risk of deep discharge of the 48 V traction battery.
ESSENTIAL : For mild-hybrid MHEV vehicles, wait 90 seconds after the ignition is switched on and check that there are no mechanical noises before switching the vehicle to "showroom" mode.
N.B. : This section refers to 3 different states of charge (SOC) of the traction battery (see table below). These states of charge do not correspond to the states of charge displayed on the instrument panel. These states of charge can only be read using the diagnostic tool : .
State
Menu of the diagnostic tool | Refers to | Description in this section |
Traction battery charge status | Nominal SOC of the 48 V battery pack | PackSOC |
Traction battery minimum charge status | Minimum SOC of the 48 V battery pack | CellSOC minimum |
Traction battery maximum charge status | Maximum SOC of the 48 V battery pack | CellSOC maximum |
(A) Preparation of the battery before switching to "showroom" mode :
- Check the PackSOC and CellSOC values (min/max) using the diagnostic tool to confirm the correct SOC values
- If the PackSOC value is not between CellSOCmin and CellSOCmax, leave the vehicle with the engine running for 15 minutes to align the SOC values
- The PackSOC and CellSOC values (min/max) of the MHEV 48 V traction battery must be at 60% before switching the vehicle to "showroom" mode
- To bring the 48 V traction battery to a SOC of 60%, leave the internal combustion engine (ICE) at idle for at least 20 minutesAny other power consumers (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, etc.) must be off while charging
(B) Show room mode :
- Check that the PackSOC and CellSOC (min/max) are aligned and at 60% before switching on "showroom" mode
- "showroom" mode will discharge the 48 V traction battery over time
- The minimum permitted PackSOC and CellSOC (min/max) in "showroom" mode are 30%, so the vehicle must not remain in "showroom" mode for more than 14 days
- The 48 V battery must be charged every 14 days. Follow the instructions in section (A)
N.B. : On the first MHEV vehicles, in "showroom” mode, the PackSOC value read by the diagnostic tool may not change.
2.4. Traction battery balancing mode (Hybrid vehicles)
N.B. : The traction battery balancing mode only concerns hybrid vehicles.
The traction battery is used during the "showroom" mode. In this mode, the traction battery discharges unevenly between the cells. Need to activate the cells balancing mode to preserve the traction battery.
CAUTION : The cells balancing mode is to be activated once a week ; Risk in the event of non-compliance : Replacement of the traction battery.
The balancing mode is activated when an ON/OFF key is pressed after having first exited "showroom" mode using the diagnostic tool . Observe the order of the following operations :
- Deactivate the show room mode using the diagnostic equipment (No need to disconnect the external supply)
- Switch off the ignition
- Wait for the various ECUs to become dormant (10 minutes minimum)
- Switch on the ignition
- Activate the "showroom" mode using the diagnostic tool
3. Tooling
Tools required :
- Diagnostic tool (the diagnostic tool must have installed the latest remote update available on the remote update server)
- 12 volt external source (Supply approved by the manufacturer)
- "E-XTEQ" battery tester
- "MIDTRONICS" battery tester
N.B. : The part number of the electrical supply approved by the manufacturer is available on the after sales documentation portal.
4. Switching to showroom mode
Observe the order of the following operations :
- Plug the diagnostic tool into the central socket
- Switch on the ignition
- Select the marque
- Select the vehicle

4.1. Installing the external electrical supply
ESSENTIAL : Before any repair, check the condition of the 2 connection clamps of the 2 external electrical supply cables. If a fault is detected (insulation wear, deformation of the clamps, incorrect crimping of the cables, incorrect fixing of the cables in the clamps etc.), replace the damaged cable(s).
Connect the external electrical supply to the ancillaries battery in the following order :
- Connect the red positive clamp
- Connect the black negative clamp onto the earth point
- Clamp the 2 cables
- Connect the 2 cables to the external electrical supply unit
- The electrical supply unit must be placed on the ground underneath the vehicle

5. Reactivating showroom mode
If there is a power cut during a showroom mode, the power used will be that of the ancillaries battery.
After a moment, the ancillaries battery voltage will drop below 9 V and the built-in systems interface (BSI1) will cut off the supply to all of the systems.
The showroom mode remains memorised in the built-in systems interface (BSI1).
In order to re-activate the showroom mode, the ancillaries battery must be charged :
- Disconnect the positive terminal of the ancillaries battery
- Connect the external supply to the terminals of the ancillaries battery
- Leave the external supply to charge the ancillaries battery
Once 12 V has been reached :
- Disconnect the external supply from the terminals of the ancillaries battery
- Reconnect the positive terminal of the ancillaries battery
- Connect the external supply to the terminals of the ancillaries battery
Press the engine starting switch or switch on the ignition to re-activate the showroom mode.
If the showroom mode does not become active, apply the procedure described in the section "Switching to showroom mode".
6. Restoring the vehicle to operating condition
CAUTION : If the vehicle was left in "showroom" mode without being charged beforehand, the traction battery must be charged before the vehicle is started.
ESSENTIAL : For electric and hybrid vehicles, carry out switching on procedures (Remove the safety padlock , Lock the circuit breaker ).
Observe the order of the following operations :
- Connect the diagnostic tool
