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.
Transit Mode
Transit Mode is used to prevent excessive battery drain during movement of the vehicle from the manufacturing point to the dealer. After vehicle manufacture, the BC1 is programmed with correct market and equipment information and placed in transit mode.
Transit mode allows some limited electrical functionality.
| Function | Limits |
|---|---|
| Interior/Map Lights | Auto shut off after 1 minute instead of 16 |
| Heated Rear Window | Limited to 1 minute operating time |
| Heated Windshield | Limited to 1 minute operating time |
| AC Blower | Limited to 1 minute operating time |
| Exterior Lights | Operate only in ignition position 1, 2, or 3 |
| DWA Siren | Always Disarmed |
The electrical load management system is changed at the VPC or dealer to normal mode using the DISplus.
