Fuel pump shut-off switch
The fuel pump shut-off switch
stops the fuel pump when the
vehicle has been involved in a
collision or substantial jolt. If the
vehicle does not start, it is possible
that the fuel pump shut-off switch
needs to be reset.
If you see or smell fuel, do
not reset the switch or try
to start your vehicle. Have all the
passengers get out of the vehicle
and call the local fire department
or a towing service.
The fuel pump shut-off switch is
located in the rear passenger side
of your vehicle. With the sedan
model, a label marks its location.
Press the button on the switch to
reset the fuel pump:
