Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Adaptation (function 10): Notes
Use this function to initiate and store the following changes:
- Transport Mode - activate or deactivate
The Telematic system is disabled (switched-off) when Transport Mode is activated. This is necessary to reduce battery drain when vehicles are transported over long distances or stored for longer periods of time.
- Emergency (back-up) battery - switch on/off, reset time register
An existing emergency (back-up) battery must be switched-off prior to disconnecting the vehicle battery and switched back on after the vehicle battery is reconnected.
Replacement of the emergency (back-up) battery necessitates resetting the Telephone/Telematic Control Module's emergency (back-up) battery time register. The time register keeps track of how long an emergency battery has powered the Telephone/Telematics Control Module (in cases where the vehicle battery is/was dead, disconnected etc.)
Individual functions are called up by entering the appropriate adaptation channel numbers (Listed in the adaptation table. See Adaptation table: .)
