FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Diesel and petrol versions
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply
with the engine consequently switching
off;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
turning on of the lights inside the
vehicle;
deactivation of climate control
system ventilation;
switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press the
button on the dashboard).
On some versions, the intervention of
the system is indicated by a message
shown on the display. In the same way,
a dedicated message on the display
warns the driver if system operation is
compromised.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the vehicle
for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the vehicle or near
the tank area. After a collision, bring the
ignition device to STOP to prevent the
battery from running down.
LPG versions
(where provided)
On LPG versions, in addition to the
above, the fuel cut-off system stops
petrol supply immediately, closes the
LPG safety solenoid valve and stops
injection, consequently shutting off the
engine.

WARNING
162)Before towing, turn the key to MAR
and then to STOP without extracting it. The
steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
gearbox is in neutral (on versions equipped
with automatic transmission (if present),
check that the gear lever is in N position).163)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. While towing, make sure
that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing
the car, you must comply with all specific
traffic regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the vehicle. Before tightening
the ring, clean the threaded housing
thoroughly. Make sure that the ring is fully
screwed into the housing before towing the
car.
164)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transporting via a
breakdown vehicle. Tow rings MUST NOT
be used to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or for
towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.
