Just had this message come up on my 3 day old car. Max journey we have done until this morning was about 20 minutes, with heated seats, steering wheel etc and also some time playing with sensus on my drive, so i guess this was to be expected based on the above. Slightly worrying though after just a few days, perhaps my other cars batteries were the same but they didnt have the ability to tell me.

Anyone know what power save mode actually is? Presume it shuts down non-essential services to maintain a charge to start your car
