It is located under the dashboard on the front right-hand door pillar and it comes into operation in the case of an accident to block the supply of fuel thereby stopping the engine.

Carefully inspect the car to find fuel leaks, e.g. in the engine compartment, under the car or near the tank.

If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started again, press button (A) to reset the fuel system and the lights.

After a crash, remember to turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent battery run-down.

WARNING

If, after a crash, you smell fuel or see leaks from the fuel system, do not reset the switch to avoid fire risk.
