P R O T E C T I O N AND S A F E T Y D E V I C E S
All the vehicle fuel lines have been designed taking into account the most up to date directives dealing
with safety and protection, especially the risk of fire.
There are t w o main types of protection:
- active protection, aimed at reducing possible causes of problems "at the source";
- passive protection, aimed at keeping the effects of a possible problem to a minimum.
The first category includes care design of the cables, their positioning and securing along appropriately
shielded and protected routes.
Suitable modifications have been made to the alternator and starter motor cables, w i t h the adoption of
protective covers; a protective outer sheath has also been adopted for some sections of cable w h i c h are
particularly exposed.
The passive protection includes all operations, which have always been adopted on vehicles, to reduce
high currents (overloading or short circuits).
The size of all the system fuses is based on the nominal absorption of the simultaneous loads and is de-
signed to guarantee operation in the case of a short circuit.
Through the adoption of a fuse box containing four maxi fuses, plus other located outside, it is possible
to protect all the supplies, w i t h the sole exception of the cable which connectrs the battery to the starter
motor and the one which connects the latter to the alternator; these cables are protected by an addition-
al outer casing.
