Limp Home Mode features a fail-safe function that prevents dangerous situations in the event of a transmission failure. The vehicle will be driven in limp home mode if the transmission malfunctions. In this mode, the transmission operates at a minimal functionality level (fixed shifting, limited shifting, reverse, neutral), making it possible for the vehicle to reach a service center.
