INERTIA SWITCH

In order to increase the degree of safety for the occupants of the vehicle in the case of an impact, the vehicle is equipped with an inertia switch located inside the passenger compartment, under the driver’s seat.

This sensor reduces the possibility of fire (as a result of fuel escaping from the injection system) by de-activating the electric pump which supplies the injection circuit.

For the complete description and the removing-refitting procedure, refer to the Fuel System section for the 1581 16V engine.

After even a slight impact, if there is a smell of fuel or there are leaks from the fuel system, do not turn the switch back on, but search for the problem and correct it to prevent the risk of fire.
