Empty tank and diesel engine

Once the engine has stopped due to fuel starva-
tion, the fuel system needs a few moments to
carry out a check.
Before starting the engine after the fuel tank has
been filled with diesel - proceed as follows:
1. The remote control key must be inside the
car.
2. Set the car in ignition position II - turn the
ignition dial to START without depressing
the brake pedal and hold the knob in the
START position for approx. 4 seconds. Then
release the knob, which automatically returns
to its starting position.
3. Wait approx. one minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake pedal
and turn the ignition dial to START again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel
shortage:
•
Stop the car on as flat/level ground as
possible - if the car is tilting there is a risk
of air pockets in the fuel supply.
STARTING AND DRIVING
Points to remember when filling with a
fuel can
When filling diesel with a fuel can, use the funnel
located under the floor hatch in the cargo area.
Make sure you insert the funnel's pipe firmly into
the filler pipe. The filler pipe has an openable
cover and the funnel's pipe must be slid past the
cover before filling can begin.
