Inertia Switch (Fuel Cut Out)

[DPJ]

Does the Leon have a Fuel cut-out in the event of accident? If so, where is the reset switch?

I was caught out once with this years ago when I was tail -ended. Since then, I've always checked where the car's reset is......... ( Except with this one. )

Googled it and found a reference to a guy with a 1.8T A4 resetting the inertia switch behind the brake pedal. Don't know whether this applies to the Leon, though?

AFAIK in the event of an accident the fuel pump relay is opened to kill the engine and just by recycling the ignition it resets it. There may be other things but I don't think there is a physical switch.

Thanks for that.
