Fuel Cut Off Switch
Your vehicle is equipped with a Fuel Cut Off safety
switch. In the event of an accident, if the communication
network remains intact, and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event, the Fuel Cut Off
Switch may perform the following functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine and turn off the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or
until the hazard light button is pressed. The hazard
lights can be deactivated by pressing the hazard light
button.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as
the battery has power.
• Unlock the power door locks. NOTE:
After an accident, remember to cycle the ignition
to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key
from the ignition switch to avoid draining the battery.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment and on the ground near the engine com-
partment and fuel tank before resetting the system and
starting the engine. If there are no fuel leaks or damage to
the vehicle electrical devices (e.g. headlights) after an
accident, reset the Fuel Cut Off Switch by following the
procedure described below.
WARNING!
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or see leaks from the
fuel system, do not reset the switches to avoid the
risk of fire.
