have deployed. The collision may have
damaged an important function in
the vehicle, such as the fuel/braking
system or sensors for one of the safety
systems etc.
If the vehicle has been in a collision,
but the driver's display and the
vehicle's electrical system is still
functioning, the message 'Safety Mode
See Owner's Manual' and a warning
symbol may be shown in the driver's

restart the vehicle if you detect
the smell of fuel or see any signs
of fuel leakage. Leave the vehicle

Dependent upon the damage to the
vehicle, it may be possible to reset the
system to start and move the vehicle
for the shortest distance possible,
(such as to move the vehicle away from
a dangerous traffic situation).
