Default Service Mode

Getting ready to do a fluid flush and fill on the front electric transaxle of my 2025 E-RAY. Once filled and ready to check the fluid level the instructions I have say to put the vehicle in Service Mode with the trans in Park and run the fluid pump with my scan tool but doesn't say how to put the vehicle in service mode. Any help out there how to put it in Service Mode? Thanks in advance!

On the Stingray, you press and hold the start button for several seconds until the car turns on, while NOT pushing the foot brake.

The procedure is also in your Owner's Manual:

Thank you Andybump! My brain knows that as accessory mode. Thanks again for confirming that for me

What is the flush interval for the hybrid system? I haven't seen that yet.

It will go into Accessory mode with a short push of the Start/Stop button. You have to hold it longer for Service moe.

That's right! Service Mode and Accessory Mode are two different things. Post 2 is the procedure from the manual for Service Mode. Here are the instructions for the Accessory Mode. That is also in the manual.

Thank you all for the clarification. Before doing the fluid flush and fill I connected my scan tool to the ODB port under the dash, I have a 2025 Launch Creader Elite V2.0 scan tool but couldn't find the menu path to - "With the vehicle in service mode and the transmission in Park (P), use the scan tool, command Drive Unit

Fluid Pump 2 Speed Command for Service Fill to Start for 2 mins."

Is anyone familure with the Creader Elite V2.0 and can point me in the right direction?
