4.40 Transportation mode: Switching off
Note
♦
The transportation mode is responsible for assuring the start‐
ing capability of vehicle.
♦
Battery discharging is reduced by the transportation mode,
because electrical consumers are switched off.
♦
All vehicle functions which are not necessarily used during
vehicle transportation and require no-load voltage or battery
capacity are switched off with the activated transportation
mode, with regard to the service life of battery.
♦
These are especially all functions in the vehicle which can re‐
duce the battery capacity when being misused.
♦
Examples are radios, electronically operated flaps and attach‐
ments and anti-theft alarm systems which can produce faults
during transportation.
Procedure
– Connect vehicle diagnostic tester ⇒ page 13 .
– Switch on ignition.
– Select »Vehicle self-diagnosis«.
If the display is not as shown in the procedure: ⇒ Operating in‐
structions for vehicle diagnostic tester
– Select »Collection services«.
– Select »Switch off transportation mode«.
The transportation mode is now switched off.
End adaptation.
– Select »GoTo« and press »End«.
– Switch off ignition.
4.41 Transportation devices: Removing
blocking pieces from front axle springs
Note
♦
On some models blocking pieces are fitted to the suspension
strut piston rod.
♦
The blocking pieces prevent the springs compressing and
possible damage to the vehicle when being driven onto a ve‐
hicle transporter or railway wagon.
WARNING
The blocking pieces must be removed without reservation be‐
fore delivering the vehicle. A notice reading “Warning!” and
attached to the interior rear view mirror, specifically reminds of
this.
