S40 Transport Mode Issue

Having an issue with my 2009 Volvo S40 gasoline. The dashboard says 'Transport mode' and I'm getting a general electrical malfunction and the navigation isn't working. Odometer reads 179805 km. I just bought it, could this be the default? OBD-II scanner isn't working. Any ideas?

Transport mode, eh? I had a similar issue with my S40. Pretty annoying. Does it still start okay, or is it completely bricked?

Thanks! The engine does start, but with a delay. The electrical issues are still there, and the navigation is still dead. Is this what you saw?

Yep, sounds familiar! Mine started okay-ish, but the electricals were all over the place. Best bet is to get it to a shop and have them properly disable Transport Mode using Volvo's diagnostic tools. It's a dealer visit, unfortunately.

Thanks for the help! I had a shop check the car and Transport Mode was active. They disabled it, and now everything is working. The repair cost was 0€, as it was just a setting.
