What does engine failsafe mode mean?

Engine failsafe mode refers to a safety feature in vehicles that activates when the engine management system detects a serious malfunction or fault. In this mode, the engine operates with reduced power and performance to prevent further damage and allow the driver to safely navigate to a service location. It often triggers specific warning lights on the dashboard, indicating that the vehicle requires immediate attention. This feature helps protect both the engine and the driver from potentially dangerous situations.
