Little black button

Post by JoshC »

In my Nubira, there is a black button, or what i think is a black button right behind the truck and fuel latches. What does that do?

That's the fuel cutoff switch. It's triggered in case of deceleration/acceleration higher than 8G. Quite alot.

Sorry about the G's :oops: . Can be wrong.

What's stated in the manual:

" FUEL CUTOFF SWITCH
The fuel cutoff switch is a safety device. In the event of a
collision or sudden impact, it automatically cuts off the fuel
supply and activates the door lock relay. After the switch
has been activated, it must be reset in order to restart the
engine. To reset this fuel–cutoff feature, press the rubber
top of the switch located near the left side of the driver’s
seat. "
