Starting and moving the vehicle when it is in safety mode
If safety mode has been set, it may be possible to reset the system in order to start and move the vehicle a short distance, for example, if it is blocking traffic.
Resetting and starting the vehicle after safety mode
Check the vehicle for damage.
If the damage is minor, you may attempt to start the vehicle.
Switch off the ignition manually.
Then try to start the vehicle.
The vehicle's electrical system will perform a system check and then attempt to reset to normal operating mode. The message Vehicle start System check, wait will be displayed on the instrument panel during the check. This may take up to a minute.
When Vehicle start System check, wait is no longer displayed in the instrument panel, try again to start the vehicle.

Moving the vehicle when it is in safety mode
If the message The car is now in normal mode is displayed after attempting to start the engine, the vehicle may be moved carefully from its present position if, for example, it is blocking traffic.
