The fire-extinguishing system uses a liquid extinguishing agent. It consists of a two-
chamber reservoir that stores the liquid extinguishing agent and turns it into gas
when it is activated. This allows residue-free extinguishing. Two gas cartridges that
are activated by a control unit are used as propellant. The contents of the
extinguishing agent container have a mass of 2.25 kg (5 lb), which helps to keep the
overall vehicle weight low. The extinguishing agent passes through three nozzles into
the cockpit and through another three nozzles into the engine compartment. The
system can be activated from the outside (6.11.2) and from the center console
(6.11.3) by a pushbutton. The switch function can be tested. The system is powered
by a 9 V block battery.
