Some cars can detect a crash and will enter "Crash Mode", this usually means airbags have been deployed, the interior lights are on and the hazards are flashing.

I'm not 100% sure but I think only main dealers can turn off "Crash Mode" after airbags and their sensors have been replaced.

FES(http://www.fiatecuscan.net) may be able to do it, you could ask on the forum(http://forum.fiatecuscan.net).

well airbags having being deployed?? thats the thing??
flashers were on alright

There's obviously a fault with the crash detection system. Have you tried disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes or so?

No crash mode per say on the Stilo, only emergency fuel shut off.

Who pluged your car in? I think they're probably taking you for a ride!

I never really crashed my car that bad so I am unaware how it works.

yep i agree, all that happens is the fuel shuts off and the doors unlock, and depending on speed the airbags may deploy.
when i crashed my old car thats excatly what happened, i also cried lol.

the airbags didnt deploy, i bought the car with very light damage to front wing
ever since body shop its bein like this
how did u fix the car from being in emergency fuel cut off mode???

ah sounds like the fuel cut of is still active.
Just look in the passinger footwell on the door pillar, just under the dash there is a bulge, go to the top of that bulge and you will see a button recessed in the plastic, press and hold that down for 10 - 20 seconds if memory serves and it should put the car back to normal.
mine also tripped out, as it was the middle of winter when it happened to me i just reset it so i could still keep warm while waiting for recovery, besides i knew the car was a total loss and had nearly a full tank of petol so i wanted to get some use from it.
hope that helps

so by resetting this fuel cut off, this should make the hazard flashers work? and indicators??
because it is running perfectly! just them electrical problems..
what happen to your car that you had to press fuel cut off???

 

[roy lovelock]

if memory serves the hazards activated, but i reached over and reset almost straight after the crash when i saw that fuel cut off had been activated so not 100% sure.

They should work regardless as they're a safety feature. Sounds like you've electrical issues. If the car is running then fuel shutoff can't have been activated.
