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 oper-
ation in the case of a crash by cutting off
fuel and switching off the engine.

When the fuel cut-off switch is on, warn-
ing light è (if any) comes on together with
the message on the multifunction recon-
figurable 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-fig. 87
to reset the fuel system and the lights.

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

If, after an accident, you can
smell petrol or see that the

the risk of fire, do not reset the
switch.
