Limp mode is a term used to describe a modern vehicle’s safety mechanism. It can also be referred to as fail-safe mode, emergency mode, or safe mode. When a vehicle detects a problem, it will engage limp mode to alert the driver that there may be a potential problem within the vehicle. As a result, the engine power will be reduced and the vehicle speed will be limited.
