On my 2002 jag xk8, I started it one afternoon drove down the driveway and got about 100 feet and the car suddenly stopped acceleration, I stopped the car and it displayed safe mode, transmission I put it in reverse and drove back up the driveway it went fine,the light went off so I drove to my destination and back fine. Later I went to drive it again and the same thing happened but this time it stayed on so I parked it. The next day I started it and it ran fine for about 30 seconds and went back in safe mode. The same happened for the next 2 days. I didn't try it again for about 10 days, today, I drove it up and down the road, about half mile and it drove fine. I parked it and wrote to you. I don't want to hurt it but I have know idea what's wrong I checked the fluid level and it's down about 1/8 an inch, I'm not sure if I checked it the correct way. Can you tell me the most accurate way to check it and also if you think I can drive it to the Jaguar shop about 10 miles away. Thanks Rich

safe mode is an abs problem. drive to the shop so they can scan and see what is wrong.
