Diesel fuel system, bleeding

Never let the tank run dry! If control
indicator Y lights up, refuel as soon as
possible. Refuel immediately if it flashes.
It is possible to restart the engine if the tank
has been run dry. A delayed start is to be
expected. Attempt to start the engine for a
maximum of 60 seconds. If the engine does
not start, wait a few minutes and try again.
Do not start with quick charger
This prevents damage to electronic
components.
Do not start by pushing or towing
Because your vehicle is fitted with a
catalytic converter, it must not be started
by pushing or towing – see page 134.

Starting the engine with jump leads

A vehicle with a discharged battery can be
started using jump leads and the battery of
another vehicle.
This must be done with extreme care.
Any deviation from the following
instructions could lead to personal injury
or damage resulting from battery
explosion, as well as to damage to the
electrical systems in both vehicles.
z Never expose the battery to naked
flames or sparks.
z Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, fabrics or
3
painted surfaces. The fluid contains
sulphuric acid which can cause injuries
and damage in the event of direct
contact.
z Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when handling a battery.
z Use auxiliary battery with same voltage
(12 volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be
considerably less than that of the
discharged battery. Voltage and
capacity information can be found on
the batteries.
