versions/markets where provided)
It is located in the bottom, near the passenger side
pillar fig. 48. It is triggered in the event of an impact,
causing:

minutes).
The intervention of the switch is indicated by the
switching on of the
warning light on the
instrument panel or the
symbol on the display
(together with a message) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section). Carefully check the car for fuel leaks, for instance in
the engine compartment, under the car or near
the tank area.
If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started
again, press button A to reactivate the fuel system
and the lights.
After a collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to
prevent the battery from running down.
WARNING
If, after a collision, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel supply system,
do not reset the switch to avoid fire risk.
