For information on the hazard flasher control, refer to Hazard lights
control
in the Roadside emergencies chapter.

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

If the engine cranks but does not start after a collision, the fuel pump
shut-off switch may have been activated. The shut-off switch is a device
intended to stop the electric fuel pump when your vehicle has been
involved in a substantial jolt.

1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the fuel pump shut-off switch by
pushing in the button on the switch.

4. Turn the ignition to the ON position. Pause for a few seconds and
return the key to the OFF position.

5. Make a further check for leaks in the fuel system.

The fuel pump shut-off switch is
located behind an access door to the
left of the driver’s seat on the
B-pillar.

FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.
