How do I turn transport mode off on my Chevy Cruze?
If you've recently purchased a new Chevy Cruze, you may have noticed a "transport mode" feature that limits certain vehicle functions. This mode is designed to conserve battery power during shipping and storage, but you'll want to turn it off once you're ready to drive your car. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do that.
What is Transport Mode?
Transport mode is a feature on many new vehicles, including the Chevy Cruze, that's designed to conserve battery power during shipping and storage before the car is delivered to the customer. When in transport mode, certain vehicle functions are disabled or limited, such as the infotainment system, power windows, and even the ability to start the engine. This is to prevent the battery from draining while the car is sitting idle.
How to Turn Off Transport Mode
- Locate the fuse box in your Chevy Cruze, usually found under the dashboard on the driver's side.
- Identify the fuse labeled "transport mode" or "transport fuse" and remove it.
- Once the fuse is removed, the transport mode will be disabled, and you'll be able to use all the features of your Chevy Cruze as normal.
If you can't find the transport mode fuse, you can also try the following:
- Turn the ignition to the "on" position without starting the engine.
- Press and hold the "unlock" button on your key fob for 5-10 seconds.
- This should disable the transport mode and allow you to use all the features of your Chevy Cruze.
If you're still having trouble, consult your owner's manual or contact your local Chevy dealer for further assistance.
