Priming the fuel system
In the event of running out of fuel:
 after fi lling (minimum 5 litres),
squeeze the manual priming
pump repeatedly, until some re-
sistance is felt,
 then operate the starter, gently
pressing the accelerator until the
engine starts.
If the engine fails to start at the fi rst
attempt, wait 15 seconds before try-
ing again.
If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, repeat the procedure from
the beginning. When the engine is
idling, accelerate gently to complete
the purge of the circuit.
HDi engines are of a highly
technical nature.
All maintenance and repairs re-
quire specifi c qualifi cations which
only your CITROËN dealer can
guarantee.
