Transport Mode, Deactivating

The Telematic 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.

Deactivate Telematics Transport Mode and enable Telematics function by using VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System in operating mode "Vehicle Self Diagnosis" or "Guided Fault Finding".
