The "nanny" is basically the computers that kick in when you do something stupid, the vehicle stability control, traction control, etc. Limp Mode will limit your RPM so that you do not damage the machine if it has a problem. It allows you to continue on so you can get to a safe place or a dealer when a problem arises instead of shutting it down.

Part of the fun of ryding a Spyder is finding out where Nanny draws the lines. When you cross them, you'll know!

You don't necessarily have to do something "stupid" to get the nanny's attention. Sometime's the light on the dashboard will flash for a couple of seconds when you take a sharp turn or twisty at (what she considers) high speed. It's her way of saying, "I'm watching you"

There you have it..
It's called the nanny because some would like to go a bit wilder in their ryding style but the sensors reporting to the computers will stop you by appling the brakes or retarding the ignition. One will slow you down the other keep you from speeding up. She is set at a good level though she has been given a wider berth on the F3's. The limp mode will allow you to continue on if there is a problem. If serious she will shut down to prevent catastrophic problems. But don't worry, in normal ryding you will never meet the nanny and idealy you will never get the limp mode...
