Description
The Impact Switch, also known as the inertia switch, is designed to interrupt the fuel supply in Citroën and Peugeot vehicles in the event of a collision. This critical component enhances passenger safety by preventing fuel leaks and potential fires during accidents.
Commonly found in models such as the Citroën C3, Peugeot 207, and others, this switch is essential for the proper functioning of the fuel system during a crash scenario. As a recommended maintenance practice, it is advised to inspect the impact switch periodically, especially after an accident or after years of use, as wear and tear can lead to malfunctions.
To replace the Impact Switch, locate the switch typically found in the vehicle’s trunk or under the dashboard. It’s a straightforward process that involves disconnecting the battery, removing the old switch, and installing a new one before reconnecting the battery.
