On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel system must be primed if you run out of fuel; refer to the engine compartment view on the "Diesel engine" section. If the tank on your vehicle is fitted with a misfuel prevention device, refer to the corresponding section.
Running out of fuel (Diesel)
If the engine does not start first time, don't keep trying. Start the procedure again from the beginning.
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel. Open the bonnet. Squeeze and release the priming pump repeatedly until resistance is felt (there may be resistance at the first press). Operate the starter until the engine starts (if the engine does not start at the first attempt, wait around 15 seconds before trying again). If the engine does not start after a few attempts, operate the priming pump again then start the engine. Close the bonnet.
HDi 92 engine
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel. Switch on the ignition (without starting the engine). Wait around 6 seconds and switch off the ignition. Repeat the operation 10 times. Operate the starter to run the engine.
