Disabling Transport or Factory Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Transport Mode 

NOTE: During vehicle build, some vehicle modules (Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), Body Control Module (BCM) and RFA module [if equipped]) are set in factory mode. While in the factory mode, the IPC displays FACTORY MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. If the vehicle is set in factory mode, the system does not automatically revert to another mode and must be manually set to either the transport or normal operation mode. When the vehicle build is complete, the vehicle is set to transport mode. While in transport mode, the IPC displays TRANSPORT MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. Transport mode is used to reduce the drain on the battery during longer periods where the vehicle is not used. Various systems may be altered or are disabled when in the transport mode. The vehicle automatically reverts to normal operation mode after being driven 201 km (125 mi).

  1. 1.

    Verify the battery is fully charged.

  1. 2.

    To disable or turn off the transport mode, carry out (within 10 seconds):
    • With ignition in RUN, press brake pedal 5 times.
    • Press hazard switch 4 times (on, off, on, off).

Factory Mode 

NOTE: During vehicle build, some vehicle modules (IPC, BCM and RFA module [if equipped]) are set in factory mode. While in the factory mode, the IPC displays FACTORY MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. If the vehicle is set in factory mode, the system automatically reverts back to normal mode after 60 ignition cycles.

  1. 1.

    Verify the battery is fully charged.

  1. 2.

    Cycle the ignition 60 times.
