In the event of a breakdown

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with HDi engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
For versions with a manual priming pump, refer
to the diagram of the underbonnet view.
If the tank on your vehicle is fitted with Misfuel
prevention, refer to the corresponding section.
If the engine does not start the first time,
do not keep trying, but start the procedure
again from the beginning.
