English term or phrase: Limp-along feature
Hola a todos:

Estoy traduciendo un manual de un sillón dental en el que se hace referencia a la función "limp-along". El término aparece en la siguiente frase:

If there is a problem or malfunction with a position sensor, the limp along feature allows the operator to move the chair in the up direction for one to three second intervals by pushing the manual control buttons on the touchpad or footswitch.

¿Alguien podría ayudarme con la traducción de este término?

¡Muchas gracias de antemano!

Tal vez se refiere a la acción de utilizar el pedal en tales casos, que podría ser similar a cojear. Es una idea.. Saludos!
