Repriming the circuit
To reprime after running out of diesel : - Fill the tank with at least five litres of diesel, with the vehicle parked on as level a surface as possible. - Operate the manual repriming pump until resistance is felt.
- Operate the starter, pressing the accelerator lightly until the engine starts. If the engine fails to start at the first attempt, wait for 15 seconds and then try again. If it fails to start after several attempts, repeat the operation from the beginning. With the engine at idle, press the accelerator lightly to bleed the system.

Topping up engine coolant Engine cold : The coolant level should be between the MINI and MAXI marks.
Engine warm : Wait for 15 minutes, the coolant temperature must be below 100¡C. Protect your
hands with a cloth, and slowly unscrew the cap as far as the safety catch to release the pressure.
Level :
Top up.
If more than 1 litre of coolant is required, have the cooling circuit checked by an approved dealer. Ensure that the cap is properly locked in position on the 2nd notch.
If it is necessary to add fluid frequently, this indicates a fault which should be checked as soon as possible.

Radiator - engine coolant
The coolant level should only be checked when the engine is cold. The level must always be between the MINI and MAXI marks on the vertical part ofthe radiator (water tank, cap side) for petrol engines, or in the reservoir ope-ning for diesel engines. The coolant contains an anti-freeze which not only enables it to withstand low temperatures (original protection to minus 37¡C) but also makes it anti-corrosive and resistant to high temperatures.
