FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
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 seat belt
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 fusebox next to the positive pole of
the battery.
When the fuse is "skipped", only some
services, necessary for the safety of the
vehicle (e.g.: door locks, anti-theft device,
etc.), remain powered.
WARNING After the impact, carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
WARNING Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have the system checked.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
GEAR LEVER RELEASE
To release the automatic transmission
lever, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
