es to hold the bonnet open.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
Opening

Open the front left door.

Pull the interior release lever A ,
located at the bottom of the door
frame.
The location of the interior release
lever prevents opening of the bon-
net while the left hand front door is
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and bonnet
stay with care (risk of burns).
1.6 litre HDi engine

Fill the fuel tank with at least fi ve li-
tres 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
fi rst press).

Operate the starter until the engine
starts (if the engine does not start at the
fi rst 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.
On vehicles fi tted 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 fi tted with
a misfuel prevention device, refer to the
"Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.
Because of the presence of elec-
trical equipment under the bonnet,
it is recommended that exposure
to water (rain, washing, ...) be re-
stricted.
If the engine does not start fi rst time,
don't keep trying but start the procedure
again from the beginning.
