The inertia switch is a safety device so that if there is a rollover or other violent carsh the fuel pump cuts off instread of spewing fuel into an engine that may have stopped runming or be damaged.
There is a fuel pump reset switch up high on the driver's side kick panel. Its shown in your owner's manual.

The Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch is located in the driver's footwell, behind the kick panel.

See attached.

This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the engine when the vehicle has had a substantial jolt.
