Hello,

This vehicle is equipped with a inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch.
The purpose of the ISF is to shut off fuel supply during a sharp impact or collision.
It this got triggered then it needs to be manually reset before starting the vehicle.

The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch is located on the right side of the luggage compartment, under the trim panel (see diagram below)

To reset the switch:
- Turn key off.
- Make sure no fluid is leaking.
- Reset the IFS switch by pushing the reset button on the top of the switch.

Note: In the closed position, the button can be depressed an additional 1.57 mm (1/16 inch) against a spring.

- Turn key to on or Start position for a few seconds, then off again.
- Again, check for leaking fuel.

I have attached the diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
