Limp mode or (limp-in mode or limp-home mode)occurs when your computer in your car is not communicating with the sensors on your engine. On some cars(volkswagon Passat for example) If you disconnect the battery then the computer will lose all of the settings and will go into limp-in mode. The car will have little power and a top speed of only about 30 miles per hour. The function of limp-in mode is to get you to a place that can repair the car but the car is barely driveable.

Any transmission related failure. You need to have the transmission computer checked for codes to know possible causes.
limp home mode is a fail safe mode on Mercedes vehicles which allows you to be able to drive a reasonable distance without necessarily damaging your engine. Most of the electronically operated parts driven by the MV belt can work on manual mode. while this is not ideal for performance it is meant to allow you to get the car to safety and a service station hence the phrase "limp home"
I believe it's called "Limp Mode", not "Safe Mode". The Car doesn't want to shift, so it's like in 2nd gear all the time. That's "Limp Mode" or Limp Home Mode. -- It cost me 3,000.00 to find out the 50.00 processor was bad.
Any number of faults could be responsible for the car going into limp home mode You need the fault codes read, any remedial work carried out, & the fault codes removed. This will then extinguish the MIL (malfunction indication light) The vehicle should then revert to normal.
