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 ⇒ page 30 .

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-.
