If safety mode has been set, it may be possi-
ble to reset the system in order to start and
move the vehicle a short distance, for exam-
ple, if it is blocking traffic.
WARNING
> The vehicle's electrical system will per-
form a system check and then attempt
to reset to normal operating mode.
Never attempt to perform repairs or reset
electrical components on your own after

may be hidden damage that could make
the vehicle impossible to control.
