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. Certain versions
are equipped with an additional safety
switch that in the event of a crash comes
into operation by cutting off the power sup-
ply. These two safety switches therefore
prevent dangerous fuel leaks due to fuel line
cracking and sparks or electric discharges
due to damaging or malfunctioning of the
electric components of the car 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 car can be started again, re-
set the fuel cut-off switch and the power
supply cut-off switch (where provided).
Follow the instructions given below.
fig. 70F0L0230mfig. 71F0L0036m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switches to
avoid fire risk.
