Limp Home

When a Danger fault results in steering performance being restricted
or suspended, the CANtrak may provide instructions on how to enter
Limp Home mode.
Limp home will provide instructions for the user to manually move the
engine(s), and/or control the shift and throttle, and allow the user to
"limp home" at a reduced performance.
The Limp Home modes vary depending on the nature of the fault.
