Fuel Cut Off Switch
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch that, in the event
of an accident, comes into operation by cutting off the
fuel supply and turning off the engine as a consequence.
When the inertia switch cuts in, this cuts off the fuel
supply and also activates the hazard warning lights, side
lights and courtesy lights while releasing all the doors
and displaying a message; they are deactivated by press-
ing button A. An additional safety system is also present
that is activated in the event of impact to cut off the
electrical supply. This prevents fuel from escaping if the
fuel lines are damaged, as well as the formation of sparks
or electrical discharges following damage to the vehicle
electrical components.
NOTE: After an accident, remember to cycle the ignition
to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key
from the ignition switch to avoid draining the battery. If
no fuel leaks or damage to vehicle electrical devices (e.g.
headlights) are detected after the impact and the vehicle,
reactivate the automatic fuel cut off following the proce-
dure described below.
WARNING!
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or see leaks from the
fuel system, do not reset the switches to avoid the
risk of fire.
