Fuel cut-out inertia switch
Fuel cut-out inertia switch
The vehicle is equipped with a safety
switch which is designed to intervene
in the event of a collision, cutting off
the fuel supply and consequently
causing the engine to stop. It also
prevents fuel leakage if the fuel lines
are damaged during the accident.
Activation of the safety switch is
signaled by the illumination of the
warning light
on the display
The switch is positioned underneath
the front left-hand seat.
After impact, if you smell fuel
or note any leakage from the
fuel supply system, do not
reactivate the switch to help prevent
any risk of fire.
The activation of the inertia switch
results in all the doors and the luggage
compartment unlocking and the
internal dome lamp and the four
direction indicators switching on.
Resetting the switch
Turn the ignition key to the STOP
position.
Check that there is no leakage from
the fuel system.
If no leaks are found, reset the inertia
switch which stops the fuel pump
operation, by pressing button A on the
switch.
Turn the ignition key to the MAR (ON)
position, wait a few seconds and then
move it to the ACC. position.
Check that the warning light
on
the display is off.
Check once again that there are no
fuel leaks.
