CRASH FUEL SHUT-OFF 

Function 

Models with an airbag are equipped with a crash fuel shut-off system. This system reduces the danger of a fire 
in a crash in that the fuel pump is switched off via the fuel pump relay. At the same time this system improves 
starting of the engine. When the door is opened the fuel pump is activated for 2 seconds to build up pressure in 
the fuel system.
