Transport Mode, Deactivating

Transport Mode, Deactivating

The telematics system is disabled (switched-off) when Transport Mode is activated. This is necessary when vehicles are transported over long distances or stored for longer periods of time.

Volkswagen vehicles equipped with telematics are initially delivered to dealerships with the system in Transport Mode, and must be deactivated using an OBD program function before delivery to the customer.

Replacement telematics control modules may also have Transport Mode activated. Where applicable, Transport Mode must be deactivated prior to coding, reconfiguration and system use.

Deactivate Transport Mode using Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051 or Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System VAS 5052 in operating mode "Vehicle Self-Diagnosis", address word "75 - Telematics", function "10 - Adaptation".
- Locate channel 3.
- Enter value "0".
- Remaining steps as prompted by tester.
