INERTIA CUT-OFF SWITCH
This switch is a safety device that
automatically unlocks the doors in the event
of an accident or sudden impact (provided the
starter switch is turned on). In addition, the
inertia switch inhibits power to the electric
fuel pump, turns off the heating and air
conditioning fans, and turns on the hazard
warning lights, which continue flashing until
either the starter switch is turned off or the
inertia switch is reset.
The switch is located behind the vertical panel
in the right hand footwell. Remove the cover
by using a coin to rotate the turnbuckle
anti-clockwise and then prise the cover off.
When the switch is tripped, the message
centre will alternately display; ’REFER
HANDBOOK’ and ’INERTIA SWITCH’.
To reset the switch, press the rubber top
(arrowed in illustration).
NOTE: The vehicle can be secured even if the
switch has been tripped by removing the
starter key, opening and closing one of the
front doors and then locking the vehicle.
WARNING
Always check for fuel leaks before resetting
the switch!
