Mondeo Transport Mode Issue

I'm hoping someone can help. My 2005 Ford Mondeo diesel, with 212014 km, says it's in 'transport mode' and I can't disable it! The navigation is dead, and it feels like electrical issues. I've checked the fuses and disconnected the battery, but no luck. Any ideas?

Transport mode, eh? I had something similar with my old 2012 Opel Insignia. Not exactly the same, but the car was acting weird after some work. Did you recently have any software changes or reprogram the key fob? It could be a setting that needs resetting.

Software changes? Key fob? No, nothing like that recently. The car was sitting unused for a few weeks before this started. Could that be a factor? And when you say 'reset,' what do you mean? Can I do it myself, or do I need a workshop?

Sitting unused could be a factor; a drained battery can sometimes mess with the car's computer. By 'reset', I mean a technician might need to use a diagnostic tool to manually disable transport mode. On my Insignia, only the dealer could fix it. Have it checked by someone with the right equipment. It’s likely a quick fix, but without the proper tools, you might be stuck.

Okay, I understand. Sounds like it's beyond my abilities. I was hoping for a simple fix, but a workshop visit it is. Thanks for sharing your experience; it's good to know I'm not completely alone with this issue!
