Hi guys I have a c3 air cross 1.2 (2018 )
I’ve been on holiday for 2 weeks and haven’t used the car .
Now I’ve come home car won’t start and says economy eco mode activated also tyre pressure monitor has come on , key not recognised as well .
Tried attaching battery booster pack and left attached for 10 mins and still no start , not even power coming from booster to use central locking or indeed windows , car seems utterly dead
Any advice would be truly welcome ?
Thank you very much
Baz

How old is the battery? If 5 years or older it needs replacing.
The only thing you can do now is to temporarily charge the battery up with a smart charger to get you out of a fix, but it rally needs a replacement.
Don't forget you'll need to reinitialise the fobs after you reconnect it (if using a key, turn ignition on only, press locking button, switch ignition off, remove key) then reinsert and try to start.
If keyless, place the fob against the backup panel on the steering column and press the Start button while doing so, then try to start as normal.
The electronic systems in these require a certain voltage for the systems to operate and a period of inactivity can reset the ECUs.
