Limp Home Mode - Mahidra TUV 300 Owner's Manual

EMERGENCIES

13.6 Limp Home Mode

Limp home mode is an emergency situation declared by the EMS
(Engine Management System) due to failure of one/more critical
sensors/actuators. In this mode, the EMS (Engine Management
System) will revert back to basic minimum requirement (fuel
quantity / injection timings) to aid the driver to bring the vehicle
back to the nearest workshop. Needless to say the drivability & fuel
consumption will be greatly affected.
If vehicle acceleration worsens or if there is a drop in vehicle
performance, there might be a malfunction in the engine
management system which triggers/activates the Limp Home
Mode. This condition is accompanied by the check engine lamp
illuminating in the instrument cluster. In this mode, the vehicle
speed is limited and the accelerator pedal may not function
normally. It is recommended you contact an Authorized Mahindra
Dealer immediately for assistance.
