FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH

This is a safety switch controlled by

the Airbag control unit. Such switch
cuts in on collision and cuts off the fu-
el supply. This results in the engine
stalling.

The multifunction display informs the

driver that the fuel has been cut off
with a dedicated message.

If you do not notice fuel leaks

and the vehicle is in a fit state to
continue on its way, proceed as
follows:

– turn the key to S;

– extract the ignition key; rein-

troduce it and start the engine as
usual.

HANDBRAKE

fig. 107

The handbrake lever is situated next

to the driver’s seat.

Pull the handbrake lever A upwards

as far as it will go to apply the hand-
brake.

When the ignition key is at M the

panel indicator light

x will come on.

If, after a collision, you

can smell fuel or notice
leaks from the fuel-feed

system, to avoid the risk of fire,
do not re-enable the switch.

It should not be possible

to move the vehicle after
the lever has gone

through three or four “clicks”. If
this is not the case, have it ad-
justed at a Fiat Dealership.

To release the handbrake:

– slightly lift the handbrake lever A

and press release button B;

– keep the button pressed in and

lower the lever. The instrument pan-
el indicator light

x will go out.
