Delivery Mode - what is it?

[JTK37]

I was able to hop into my Bronco on the lot last night before the dealer got to do their full PDI and prep for me to take it(won't be able to until tomorrow). When I got in and we started it up the dash was in "Delivery Mode".

Does anyone know the details of "Delivery Mode"? Does it effectively limit speed, output or anything else?

During vehicle build, some modules (such as the IPC and the BCM) are set to factory mode. When the vehicle build is complete, the vehicle is set to transport/delivery mode.

Transport/Delivery mode is used to reduce the drain on the battery during longer periods when the vehicle is not used. Various system functions can be altered or disabled when in the transport mode. While in transport mode, the IPC displays TRANSPORT MODE in the message center. Transport mode can be disabled and placed into normal operation mode.

There are other functions that are disabled and those vary by model.
