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
trying 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 must
be done only by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
