Door unlocking in the event
of a crash
In the event of a crash that triggers the fu-
el cut-off switch, the doors will unlock au-
tomatically to enable getting into the car
and at the same time the passenger’s com-
partment lights will turn on. It is howev-
er always possible to open the doors from
the passenger’s compartment by means of
the internal door handles.
If, after a crash no fuel leaks are found and
the car can be started again, reset the fu-
el cut-off switch as specified in the fol-
lowing paragraph. DOOR LOCK fig. 59
To lock all doors at the same time, press
button A, located on the central console
control panel, regardless of the position
of the ignition key.FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The car 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
engine as a consequence.
This device therefore prevents fuel leaks
due to fuel piping breaking.
IMPORTANT After a crash, remember to
remove the electronic key from the igni-
tion switch to prevent battery run-down.
Fuel cut-off switch activation is indicated
by the message “FPS on” on the digital dis-
play.
On the multifunction display, the message
“Fuel cut-off switch on, see Handbook”
is displayed.
fig. 59F0M0013m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fine risk.
WARNING
If central door locking has
been activated from inside
the car and after a crash the fuel cut-
off switch cannot activate automatic
door unlocking, it will not be possible
to get into the car. In any case, door
opening from the outside depends on
door conditions after the crash: if a
door is badly damaged it will be im-
possible to open it. In this event try to
open one of the other doors.
