Abstract:
The systems and methods provided herein are directed to exiting a vehicle from transport mode using a sequence or operation performed by two or more users. In an illustrative embodiment, the vehicle may include a first system and a second system. The first system may be activated by a sequence of pedal presses to either the brake or acceleration pedal. The second system may be activated by a trunk open request or battery connection. A control system within the vehicle may exit the transport mode when the first system and second system have been activated within a predetermined time. The predetermined time may be based on a distance between the first system and the second system such that a single user may not activate both systems. The predetermined time may be less than a time to travel a distance between the first system and the second system.
