Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Description and Operation

In the event of a collision, the electrical contacts within the inertia switch open and the fuel pump automatically shuts off. The fuel pump will shut off even if the engine does not stop running. The engine, however, will stop a few seconds after the fuel pump stops operating. It is not possible to start the engine until the inertia switch is manually reset. The inertia switch is located in the luggage compartment of the left hinge support.
