RESET

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

The fuel pump shut-off switch is
located in the passenger’s foot well,
by the kick panel.

Use the following procedure to reset
the fuel pump shut-off switch.

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
pressing in on the reset button.

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.

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.
Note: Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.
