It goes into limp mode when the computer detects a problem and sets a code. Have it checked for codes.
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.
When my pt cruiser went into limp mode it was because it needed a new camshaft position senor. The engine was limited to 2500 RPM. The sensor is on the top diver's side of the engine. It has two 10 mm bolts and a plug attached to it. After replacing the sensor I cleared the trouble code using an OBD II reader. If you do not have this then disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes will work. If the sensor was the problem then the car should run normal. The camshaft position sensor was $40.00 from Checkers.The cause of the code will need repaired to get it out of limp in.
$200-$2500

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.

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.
