Utility mode?

[Jonbro]

Does anyone know if there is a “utility mode” like on a Kia, where you can minimise the discharge of the 12v battery when you are staying for a long time with the doors open? For example, detailing the car, checking tyre pressures, camping or whatever. In my previous Kia’s, you could use this utility mode and it would charge the 12v battery and protect the system from discharge, while you were doing stuff and listening to the stereo or using 12v accessories.

I wonder if the low power mode would do that (seen on the infotainment screen)

Noticed this in the 5 section (12v cooler), maybe the same;

Thanks JimB for finding that.
It kind of implies that a utility mode is not necessary, or engages automatically.
I wonder how legal that is. I understood utility mode was there also to help you prove if challenged that you had no intention of driving when using a phone or laptop etc while sitting in the driver’s seat, as you have to make a conscious decision to engage it, and it suspends any operation with the drive system until you disengage it
