Transportation Mode, Switching Off: Notes

The transportation mode assures that the vehicle will start.

The transportation mode reduces the drain on the battery by switching off any electrical consumers.

All vehicle functions that are not necessary while the vehicle is being transported and do not require any power from the battery, are switched off to conserve the battery charge.

This applies especially to those features, which could be left on and will drain the battery capacity.

Examples of these would be the radio, or vent flaps which are electronically actuated or the anti-theft alarm system which could be set off during transportation.
