2 Berth Fiat Sandpiper – Fuel Cut-Off Switch – How to Reset It

If your Sandpiper suddenly won’t start and a fuel cut-off warning appears on the dashboard, the fuel cut-off safety system may have been triggered. This system is designed to protect the engine by stopping the fuel flow after certain types of impacts or sudden jolts.

Why the Fuel Cut-Off System Activates

The fuel cut-off switch is a built-in safety feature that halts fuel supply in scenarios such as:

1. A sudden impact or collision

2. Driving over a deep pothole

3. A tyre blowout

4. Harsh or emergency braking

When activated, the system also triggers the hazard lights and prevents the vehicle from starting until the switch is manually reset.

Follow these two simple steps:

1. Locate the Switch
