Door unlocking in the event
of a crash
If the fuel cut-off switch trips following an
accident, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to let you leave the car and the
ceiling lights will be switched on at the
same time. The doors can always be
opened from the inside of the car by
means of the specific levers.
Proceed as follows if no fuel leakage is
found and and the car is in condition to be
driven to rearm the fuel cut-off switch.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 the accident,
re-
member to remove the electronic key
from the ignition device to prevent drain-
ing the battery.The message “FPS on” will appear on the
digital display when the switch trips. The
mess ag e “F ue l cu t of f swi tch , see ha nd-
book” will appear on the multifunctional
display.
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fire risk.
WARNING
If the centralised door lock-
ing system was operated
from inside the car and the fuel cut-
off switch did not manage to auto-
matically release the doors, it will not
be possible to access the passenger
compartment from the outside after
an accident. The possibility of open-
ing the doors from the outside de-
pends on the conditions of the doors
themselves after the accident: if may
not be possible to open a damaged
door. In this case, try to open the oth-
er doors of the car.
