FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCHThe vehicle is fitted with a safety switch
that, in the event of a crash, comes
into operation by cutting off the fuel
supply and turning off the engine as a

and courtesy lights while releasing
all the doors and displaying the relevant
message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. On some versions,
there is also a safety relay that activates
in the event of impact to cut off the
electrical supply. In this way, fuel is
prevented from escaping if the pipes
are broken and the formation of sparks
or electrical discharges following
damage to the vehicle electrical
components is avoided.
