Transportation mode: switching off

Note
The transportation mode is responsible for assuring the
♦
starting 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
♦
reduce the battery capacity when being misused.
Examples are radios, electronically operated flaps and at‐
♦
tachments and anti-theft alarm systems which can produce
faults during transportation.
– Switch transportation mode off/on
4.64 Transportation devices: removing
blocking pieces
Note
On some models blocking pieces are fitted to the suspen‐
♦
sion strut piston rod.
The blocking pieces prevent the springs compressing and
♦
possible damage to the vehicle when being driven onto a
vehicle transporter or railway wagon.
NOTICE
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 highlights this point
with absolute clarity.
– Vehicles with blocking pieces fitted to the suspension struts
have a label hanging from the mirror -arrow-.
