It shouldn't go on and still start as I understand it. The fuel pump inertia switch it designed to shut the fuel pump off in case of a fuel leak or an accident. Inside the switch is a ball that is held magnetly rolls forward and engages a swith to stop fuel flow. It can be reset by by a button the top of the switch. It is located in the left rear of the trunk compartment.

Why does the Fuel cutout light always goes on and off while driving?

Because the "fuel cutout" unit is most likely lose and the ball inside it connects with the switches, hence making the light go on. Look in the rear on the drivers side behind the panel near to the floor and you should see an black little box with an red button sitting on a bracket with one bolt. If it is not it's loose and you will need to fasten it again.
