The problem was suspected to be either a simple setting issue or a more complex immobilizer problem. After checking the infotainment system and restarting the engine without success, it was suggested that the issue might require professional diagnostics.

I checked the infotainment system thoroughly but can't find any setting related to 'transport mode'. The engine does start, but the electrical malfunctions persist alongside the navigation issue. Could a specific sequence of actions be required to disable this mode, perhaps involving the engine start button or a combination of buttons?

Alright, if it's not in the infotainment, and restarting didn't fix it, it's getting trickier. Transport mode usually cuts power to non-essential systems. Since the engine starts, the immobilizer is probably fine. It sounds like a deeper car electronics issue that needs proper diagnostics. I'd say it's best to have a workshop take a look. They'll have the right tools to properly disable transport mode and check for any error codes.

I took the vehicle to the dealership, and it turned out to be a software configuration issue related to the transport mode, as you suggested. They reset the system, and everything is now functioning correctly. The repair was covered under warranty, so there was no cost involved.

Hey there! Transport mode, huh? That's usually enabled during shipping to prevent battery drain. Sometimes, the dealer forgets to disable it. Have you checked the vehicle settings in the infotainment system? There might be an option to deactivate transport mode. It could also be linked to the car electronics needing a reset after delivery. Does the engine start at all, or is it completely dead?
