Factory-Transport Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
During vehicle build, some modules such as the IPC and the BCM are set to factory mode. When the vehicle build is complete, the vehicle is set to transport mode.
Transport mode reduces the drain on the battery during longer periods when the vehicle is not in use. Various system functions can be altered or disabled when in the transport mode. While in transport mode, the IPC displays TRANSPORT MODE in the message center. Transport mode can be disabled and placed into normal operation mode.
