Creo que la selección que has hecho no es la que mejor define el hecho, ya que \"funcionamiento reducido\" en mecánica no tiene significado.
Lee la siguiente descripción que te describe en que consiste.
\"Limp-Home\" Mode

Intrinsic to the Northstar System\'s personal safety and engine protection is the exclusive, patented \"limp- home\" mode, which enables the engine to keep operating - for a limited range - even without a drop of vital engine coolant. If for any reason there is a significant loss of coolant that causes the engine to overheat, the Northstar automatically converts to this limp-home mode, alternately delivering fuel to only four of the eight cylinders. The remaining four cylinders do not fire, but continue to pump air. This air, which is pumped through the cylinder, cools the engine and gives the driver an opportunity to reach a safe location.
