Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Service Function: Transport Mode/Pre-delivery check
In order to ensure that a vehicle can be handed over to the customer in proper condition, the "Transport mode/pre-delivery check" service function must be performed.
The following positions are checked during the pre-delivery check:
- Deactivation of the transport mode.
- To determine the vehicle-specific vehicle performance per week an adaptation process is activated. Transport and immobilization periods before vehicle delivery to the customer therefore do not have any effect on the customer-specific weekly distance travelled.
The weekly mileage/kilometrage is used to control escalation from "green" to "yellow" (approx. 4 weeks before "red") for maintenance scopes with remaining distances. It is the vehicle performance determined over the last 6 weeks which is taken into account.
- Encoding or deletion of the legally-specified intervals for the legally stipulated vehicle inspection and exhaust-gas test.
- Inputting the target dates for the legally stipulated vehicle inspection and exhaust-gas test (automatically or manually).
Automatically: by date entry of the first registration and the interval
Manually: by directly entering the target date
- Entry of local, service-related phone numbers, depending on vehicle equipment specification (e.g. BMW Group Mobile Service, BMW Hotline, customer's local dealer).
The country-specific phone numbers are displayed in the BMW diagnosis system as a note. When asked for input information the phone numbers can simply be read off.
- Information on initializing the TeleServices depending on the vehicle equipment.
- Checking and where necessary adjusting the on-board date for the vehicle.
- Entry of the date of the first registration of the vehicle.
- Clear diagnostic fault entries from fault memory.
In order to minimize the input effort for the workshop, standardized data is saved on the BMW diagnosis system (for repeat use). The standardized data can be changed with the "CBS correction, tester data" service function.
