POWER SUPPLY AND
FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into opera-
tion by cutting off fuel and turning off the en-
gine as a consequence. When the inertial
switch cuts in, fuel supply is stopped and haz-
ard and sidelights will turn on, for turning
off press button A. An additional safety
switch is also fitted, that in the event of a
crash comes into operation by cutting off the
power supply. These two safety switches
therefore prevent dangerous fuel leaks due
to fuel line cracking and sparks or electric dis-
charges due to damaging or malfunctioning
of the electric components of the vehicle in
the event of a crash.
IMPORTANT After a crash, remember to
remove the key from the ignition device to
prevent battery run-down.
If, after a crash no fuel leaks or damages to
the electric devices (e.g. headlights) are
found and the vehicle can be started again,
reset the fuel cut-off switch and the power
supply cut-off switch (where provided). Fol-
low the instructions given below.
