This Owner’s Manual describes every option and model variant available and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your particular vehicle.

It is an integral part of the vehicle. WARNING: In the event of an accident the Fuel pump shut-off switch will automatically cut off the fuel supply to the engine. The switch can also be activated through sudden vibration (e.g. collision when parking). To reset the switch, refer to the Fuel pump shut-off switch in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.
