You have to repair the cause of the code that put it in limp mode.

No, you will need to fix the failure.
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.
The transmission computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
$200-$2500
The transmission computer default to limp mode when it detects a malfunction. It will also set a trouble code. You need to have the code read with a scan tool to know possible causes.
Most VW's only go into limp mode if there is a very serious problem. Limp mode is there to protect the engine, not to be an inconvenience. To disable limp mode would be to allow the engine to self destruct.
The first step is to check the vehicle for trouble codes. That will tell you what failure the computer saw when it defaulted to limp mode. You can then diagnose and repair the failure.The first step is to check the vehicle for trouble codes. That will tell you what failure the computer saw when it defaulted to limp mode.

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.
is limp mode is when you put the car on donks or on 3 wheels using hydrolics
fix the problom that put it in limp home mode then reset the computer
I have a 1999 Chrysler 300M. On two occasions my car went into limp mode. The first time it happened I was cruising down the highway at 70mph when the speedometer suddenly went to zero. The car continued to run normally until I was forced to slow for traffic. As soon as I slowed down, the car went into limp mode and stayed there. The second time it happened, the car went into limp mode but the speedometer continued to work normally. As least with my car, a faulty speed sensor was the cause of the problem on both occasions. The Chrysler mechanic explained that there are two such speed sensors on or in the transmission. He also said those speed sensors tend to fail more than other things.
