Disabling Transport or Factory Mode

Transport Mode

NOTE: During vehicle build, some vehicle modules (Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), Body Control Module (BCM) and Remote Functions Receiver (RFR) module [if equipped]) are set in factory mode. While in the factory mode, the IPC displays FACTORY MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. If the vehicle is set in factory mode, the system does not automatically revert to another mode and must be manually set to either the transport or normal operation mode. When the vehicle build is complete, the vehicle is set to transport mode. While in transport mode, the IPC displays TRANSPORT MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. Transport mode is used to reduce the drain on the battery during longer periods where the vehicle is not used. Various systems may be altered or are disabled when in the transport mode. The vehicle automatically reverts to normal operation mode after being driven 201 km (125 mi).

  1. Verify the battery is fully charged.
