limp mode
Limp mode is what happens when a car's computer detects a problem and limits how fast the car can go to avoid damage. It's like a safety mode that helps protect the engine.
Limp mode is a safety feature in modern vehicles that limits engine power and performance to prevent further damage when a fault is detected. It typically restricts the car from exceeding certain RPMs or speeds.
