Seat Formentor Hybrid Electrical Issues

I'm having a problem with my 2022 Seat Formentor Hybrid. It seems to be stuck in transport mode. I'm getting general electrical malfunctions, and the navigation system doesn't work. The engine starts, but something is wrong with the car electronics. Could this be the cause, given that the car is new?

Summary of the thread

A 2022 Seat Formentor Hybrid was experiencing electrical malfunctions, including issues with the navigation system, likely due to being stuck in transport mode. Transport mode is used during vehicle transport to conserve battery life by limiting electronic functions. The solution involved having the dealership disable transport mode using a diagnostic tool, resolving the issues without any cost.

Interesting. I also have a Seat Formentor, though I don't remember the year. I had a similar problem when I first got it. The car electronics acted up, and the navigation wasn't working. Did the dealership say anything about transport mode?

Transport mode? No, they didn't. What is transport mode, and how did you fix it?

Transport mode is sometimes enabled when vehicles are transported to reduce battery drain. It limits some car electronics functions. My problem was also transport mode. The dealership had to disable it using software or a diagnostic tool. It's a quick fix, but you'll probably need to take it to them.

Great advice. It was transport mode. The dealership disabled it, and everything works now. No charge, thankfully!
