INERTIA SWITCH

WARNING:
Inexpert modifications or additions to the electrical
system could jeopardise safety.
Inertia Switch
The safety inertia switch is designed to operate on impact,
typified by car collision, to switch off the fuel pump, and thus
minimise any fire hazard. The central door locking will also be
triggered to unlock the doors.
The inertia switch is mounted at the left hand bottom of the
engine bay, on the inboard face of the rear subframe, and is ac-
cessible from between the coolant header tank and windscreen
washer reservoir. The switch is reset by pressing the rubber
diaphragm button on the top of the unit.

Fuses

The main fusebox is located in the front services compartment,
on the passenger side, and is protected by a plastic cover. For
access, remove the passenger side front body access panel,
and unclip the fusebox lid.
Twenty two slots are provided for 'Littel' type fuses which are
numbered, and coloured according to their amperage rating, and
may be pulled out from their slots using the fuse extractor tool
provided on the fusebox lid.
