This Owner’s Guide describes every option and model variant available
and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your
particular vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles it may describe
options before they are generally available.

Fuel pump and high voltage battery shut-off switches: In
the event of an accident the fuel pump shut-off switch may
automatically cut off the fuel supply to the engine and the high voltage
shut-off switch cuts off power from the high voltage battery. These
switches can also be activated through sudden vibration (e.g. collision
when parking). For information on resetting the fuel pump shut-off
switch and the high voltage battery shutoff switch, refer to the Fuel
pump/high voltage shut-off switches in the Roadside Emergencies
chapter.
