Petrol engines



All models with a petrol injection system are equipped with a safety switch, which in an emergency or overload situation switches off the fuel pump. The switch is located in front of the driver's door on the left side wall. If the current circuit is open, the button is in the upper position.

Turning on



Look through the peephole in the side trim of the footwell. If the button is in the down position (picture), the electrical circuit is closed. If the button is in the up position, the switch has turned off the fuel pump.
