INERTIAL FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH

It is located next to the passenger’s door pillar, at the bottom (move the
covering aside to reach it) and it comes into operation in the case of a
crash by cutting off fuel and switching off the engine.

When the fuel cut-off switch is on, warning light è (if any) comes on
together with the message on the multifunction reconfigurable display.

Carefully inspect the car to find fuel leaks, e.g. in the engine
compartment, under the car or near the tank.

If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started again, press button
(A) to reset the fuel system and the lights.

After a crash, remember to turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
battery run-down.
