On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel system must be primed if you run out of fuel; refer to the engine compartment view on the "Diesel engine" page.

If the tank on your vehicle is fitted with a misfuel prevention device, refer to the section "Access - § Misfuel prevention (Diesel)".

If the engine does not start first time, don't keep trying. Start the procedure again from the beginning. 1.6 litre HDi engine
