Suzuki - Sx4 :: Garmin Nuvi 760 - Any Way To Disable Safe Mode On GPS?


Sep 10, 2009

I have a 2009 SX4 Crossover, which came with a Garmin nuvi 760 ... but which has been customized for Suzuki. I actually already own a "real" Garmin nuvi that we've been using in our other vehicles, so the Suzuki customizations are fairly obvious to me.

For the most part, they are welcome value-adds over a standard Garmin nuvi 760, with one very annoying exception ... and that is the mandatory "Safe Mode".

Suzuki has apparently decided for me that I must always have Safe Mode enabled, by removing the enable/disable option for this in the Suzuki version. A "real" nuvi 760 (and for that matter all other real Garmin nuvis with Safe Mode) has a Safe Mode enable/disable toggle button on the Security settings panel; and that has been removed from this panel in the Suzuki version.

While I understand the safety issues involved with a driver trying to use certain features while the car is moving, did Suzuki forget that they also install a passenger seat up front as well; and that maybe me or my wife, while in the passenger seat, might be trying to look up some location information for us while we are driving through an unfamiliar place looking for things? The only way to get out of Safe Mode is to pull the car over somewhere and stop ... very inconvenient, especially in congested city traffic. This has happened to us a number of times now, and is really getting old.

So I'm just wondering if any way to disable Safe Mode on the Suzuki version of the nuvi 760? Or, what I am actually hoping is that the option to turn toggle it on/off really is still there but just hidden, and that maybe there is a way to un-hide it ...

Prius (Gen 3) :: Is It Safe To Repeatedly Accelerate Out Of EV Mode?

Where I live people on the highway accelerate quickly. I try to stay in the EV range up to 15 mph but, when I do someone is up my rear end.

However, when I accelerate manually in EV mode I can accelerate up to 25 mph with the flow of traffic.

My concern with repeatedly accelerating up 25 mph in EV mode will be harder ( lessen the life ) on the battery or the transmission or the electric motors.

I'm guessing it's safe for the electric motors and the transmission because the plug in prius can accelerate up to 62 mph and it's fine.
However th

So is it 100% safe for the car to repeatedly accelerate out of EV mode?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Radio In Safe Mode But Locked Out

I had to do some work on the car which required disconnecting the battery, Usually the radio goes into safe mode which I unlock using the 4 digit code. However this time i entered the wrong code and the radio went into 02 safe mode?? Now the radio is not responding at all to any inputs from the buttons, its literally locked. I have disconnected the battery again and left it for a bit hoping it would clear it but no luck it still says 02 safe and I can't enter the code to unlock it.

Passat (B6) :: Stuck In Third Gear - Tranny Went Into Safe Mode?

I unhooked the battery for about an hour. I hooked it back up. I started the car put the selector into drive. CLUNK. Disengaged the parking brake. Drove. It turns out when I shifted to D it went straight to third and stayed there. I turned off the car, restarted it. Still stuck in third. Drove a few miles. Restarted it. No more issues. My guess the tranny went into safe mode, but why?

06 Silverado - When Stop And Start To Take Off It Goes Back Into Fall Safe Mode

I have replaced my trans and now I have a problem with it going into fall safe mode. I was told it was to do with a sensor on the transfer case. Could this be my problem? I can turn the truck off and turn it back on and it will shift out, but when I stop and start to take off it goes back into the fall safe mode, staying in high gear.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2001 - Transmission Goes Into Fail Safe Mode / No CEL Codes

2001 Accent, 1.5L Automatic with OD, 263,000 km

Transmission goes into Fail Safe Mode but the CEL does not light up and code reader shows no codes. Shifts fine in town,1-2-3-4...4-3-2-1, but on highway when going up inclines (steep), transmission downshifts from Overdrive into 3rd,as i press the accelerator it will downshift into 2nd (as normal), until i reach the top of the incline (3500-4000 rpm) but then as the car levels out on the highway, it will shift back and forth between overdrive and 3rd, (jerky shifting) then finally goes into Fail safe mode, 3000 rpm at 80-90 km/h. Once I shut the car off for a few minutes, the transmission is fine and shifts normally. Fluid levels are good. Why the CEL is not giving code?

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Transmission Went To Safe Mode Kicking Hard When Shifting

I was driving at 40 -30 mph on a dark street and rammed through a bit of water ( maybe 4" high and 6 feet across). So right after i got these tranny codes and my tranny went to safe mode kicking hard when shifting:

P0705
Transmission Range Sensor Out Of Self Test Range Or Shorted To Ground

P1783
Transmission Over Temperature Condition

P0712
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit Input Low

P1702
Transmission Concern

Luckily I was a block away from home. So i assumed all those sensors shorted with water ( I thought they were all water proof...hmm) so i let them dry.

So the codes went away and the truck seamed fine for 2 weeks until i felt the tranny kicking again into gears yesterday. So today i went on a test drive and it was fine at first until it went into safe mode again with only 2 codes:

P0705
Transmission Range Sensor Out Of Self Test Range Or Shorted To Ground

P1702
Transmission Concern

So, that means the other sensors dried out and i destroyed the TRS? and if so would it malfunctioning cause the tranny to go into safe mode or could there be some other issue?

Tiguan :: Safe To Drive After Having Screw In Tires?

Just returning home from one week business trip envisioning a quit and relaxing weekend...First thing I did was stepping in my car on the airport parking lot driving a screw into my tire.... That already set my Saturday morning schedule.Bright and early went to my tire dealer of choice.They flat out said it was unsafe to fix that tire and also said they do not have the VW Tiguan's OEM Pirelli Scorpion Zero in their portfolio recommending to go to my VW dealer and get a new tire. As they did not try to sell me one of their tires (they were not busy) it convinced me that they were telling the truth.

Half an hour later arriving at my VW dealer.hey simply plugged the hole in my tire. While they had concerns about the tire holding air when plugged they were not concerned about the safety when driving the tire once it's confirmed that it holds up air. While some websites (Tire-Rack) say that a tire NOT fixed inside and outside is NOT the safe way to do so my tire was only fixed from the outside not taking it of the rim. As you can see on the pictures the screw was not really in the middle / drive tread. But somewhat close to the outside.

What do the experts among you say. Is this an accident to happen ? Should I just get one new tire (The other tire of the axle has 10400 miles driven / not quite sure if I have to replace the whole axle )

What I want to avoid is a tire exploding at highway speeds. Worst case would be while pulling my teardrop trailer.
