Condition
Some customers may comment that there is a "Transport Mode On" message displayed in the DIC and/or the red battery light is flashing. The
transport mode is intended for use on vehicles being shipped outside of the United States and Canada.
For the 2014 model year, some products will be shipped from the assembly plant with the Transportation Mode On. The feature reduces the
electrical load on the battery when the vehicle is parked, which extends the battery stand time.
To alert the operator that the mode is on, the red battery telltale will be flashing and if equipped with a DIC, it will display a Transport Mode On
message. When the Transport mode is on, the Remote Keyless Entry (key fobs) is disabled, as well content theft deterrent and exit lighting timers
are reduced.
When the vehicle is running, the only difference in operation will be the DIC Message and Battery Telltale on. The Remote Keyless Entry function
is restored with the ignition in run.
The intent of the feature is to prolong battery stand time. The mode may be left on while the vehicle is in dealer inventory. Also a customer may
want to use the mode if the vehicle is going to be stored. The method to turn the mode off is the same to turn the mode on. See below for the
method to turn the mode off and on.
Correction
2011-2014 Vehicle Procedure
To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to start the engine, activate the hazard flashers, press the brake pedal, then press and hold
the Start/Stop button or turn the ignition key to the crank position for 15 seconds. The same steps are used to turn on the feature.
2010 Chevrolet Camaro Procedure
To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to activate the hazard flashers, turn the ignition key to the crank position, and then hold it
in the crank position for 15 seconds. The Transport Mode Off message will be displayed and the Battery light will turn off.
2010 Cadillac SRX Procedure
To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to push and hold the Start/Stop button while the brake is applied for 15 seconds or until the
Transport Mode Off message is displayed. For SRX, if Transport Mode is active, this causes the RKE system to only work when the ignition is On
or the BCM is awake (approximately 20 minutes after ignition off).
Note
On vehicles that are shipped from the assembly plant with the transportation mode on, turning the feature off is included in the normal
PDI process time. No additional warranty claims should be submitted to disable or enable this feature.
