Running out of fuel (Diesel)

On vehicles 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.
