Running Out Of Fuel (Diesel) - CITROËN C4 Picasso Owner's Handbook Manual

Running out of fuel (Diesel)

On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel;
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
view.
If the tank on your vehicle is fitted with
a misfuel prevention device, refer to the
"Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.
If the engine does not start first time,
don't keep trying but start the procedure
again from the beginning.
1.6 litre HDi engine
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel.
Open the bonnet.
If necessary, unclip the styling cover for
access to the priming pump.
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.
Clip the styling cover back in place.
Close the bonnet.
