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

• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button is
pressed. The hazard lights can be deacti-
vated by pressing the hazard light button.

partment and on the ground near the engine
compartment 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
