Limp Home

When a Danger fault results in steering and/or shift and throttle
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.
There are three Limp Home modes depending on the nature of the fault.
