Correction
2011 Vehicle Procedure
To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to activate the hazard flashers, press the brake pedal, then press and hold the Start/Stop button
or turn the ignition key to the crank position for 15 seconds.
2010 Chevrolet Camaro Procedure
To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to activate the hazard lamps, turn the ignition key to the crank position, and then hold it in the
crank position for 15 seconds. The Transport Mode Off message will be displayed and the Battery light will turn off.
2010 Buick LaCrosse Procedure
To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to push and hold the Start/Stop button or turn the ignition key to the crank position, while the
brake is applied for 15 seconds or until the Transport Mode Off message is displayed.
2010 Cadillac SRX Procedure
To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to push and hold the Start/Stop button while the brake is applied for 15 seconds or until the
Transport Mode Off message is displayed. For SRX, if Transport Mode is active, this causes the RKE system to only work when the ignition is On or the
BCM is awake (approximately 20 minutes after ignition off).
2010 Chevrolet Equinox Procedure
To turn the Transport Mode On/Off, it will be necessary to turn the ignition key to the crank position, and then hold it in the crank position for 15
seconds. After turning the Transport Mode Off, make sure the ignition lock cylinder is not binding on the bezel around it, and causing the key to stick in
the crank position.
Note
If this is a repeat concern, this feature can be completely turned off by reprogramming the BCM. This calibration will be titled "Update calibrations to
improve Customer Satisfaction."
