Inertia switch

In the event of an accident, an inertia switch will trip, isolating

fuel pump operation. Once the switch has tripped it must be

reset before attempting to restart the engine.
The inertia switch is located behind the trim on the right-hand

side of the vehicle, forward of the front door post, below the

fascia. Pull open the small panel in the trim to reset the switch.

WARNING:

To avoid the possibility of fire or personal injury, do not
reset the inertia switch if you see or smell fuel.

If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the inertia switch as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘0’.
2. Pull open the small panel in the trim.
3. Press down the flexible cover on the top of the inertia switch.
4. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘II’, pause for a few

seconds, then return the key to position ‘0’.

5. Make a further check for fuel leaks.
6. Close the trim panel.
