  • Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel.

  • Operate the starter until the engine starts (if the engine does not start at the first 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.
