FUEL CUT-OFFSYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
139)
Depending on the type and violence of
the impact, the control unit of the ORC
occupant protection systems determines
whether to activate the airbags and the
front seatbelt pretensioners and whether
to immediately interrupt the current
from the batteries to the supply pumps
and to the devices that operate the
engine. The power from the battery is
interrupted by "skipping" the pyrotechnic
fuse placed on the fuse box next to the
positive pole of the battery.
When the fuse is "skipped", only some
services, necessary for the safety of the
vehicle (eg: door locks, anti-theft device,
etc.), remain powered.
IMPORTANT After the impact, carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
IMPORTANT Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the system checked.
WARNING
139)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system, do not
reactivate the system to avoid the risk of
fire.
