CAUTION
D Make sure the cap is tightened securely to prevent fuel
spillage in case of an accident.

has a built−in check valve to reduce fuel tank vacuum.
FUEL PUMP SHUT−OFF SYSTEM
In response to a severe impact which may cause a large amount
of vehicle deformation, the fuel pump shut−off system stops
supplying fuel to the engine to minimize the risk of fuel leakage.
15X011
The fuel pump shut−off system activates when the impact detection
sensor located in the footwell of the driver’s seat detects an impact
larger than specified.
If the fuel pump shut−off system has activated, you can turn on the
fuel pump shut−off system with the reset switch on the impact
detection sensor. To turn on the fuel pump and reset the shut−off
switch, push the reset switch for longer than 1 second with the
vehicle parked on a level surface.
CAUTION
D Inspect the ground under the vehicle before resetting the
fuel pump shut−off system. If you find liquid leakage on the
ground, it is probable that the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. In this case, do not reset
the fuel pump shut−off system.
D Do not strike or kick the impact detection sensor. The fuel
pump shut−off system may activate, shutting off the motor
and placing the vehicle in a position to be involved in an
unexpected accident.
The fuel pump shut−off system is designed to activate in a collision
which may cause a large amount of vehicle deformation. It does not
operate in a small impact.
