Inertial Fuel Cut-Off Switch; Opening The Fuel Flap - Alfa Romeo 156 Owner's Manual

INERTIAL FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH (fig. 119)
This is an automatic safety switch which is
triggered in the event of crash to interrupt
the flow of fuel.
The intervention of the inertial switch is in-
dicated by a message + symbol on the In-
focenter display (see "Infocenter Display"
in this chapter) and by the door unlocking.
WARNING
If a smell of fuel is noted
following an accident, or
the fuel system is leaking, to avoid
the risk of fire do not reset the
switch.

Inspect the care carefully to make sure that
there are no fuel leaks, for instance in the
engine compartment, under the vehicle or
near the tank area.
If no leaks are found and the vehicle can
be restarted again, press button (A) to ac-
tivate the fuel supply system.
After a collision, remember to turn the ig-
nition key to STOP so as not to run the bat-
tery down.
