RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is
possible to restart it to drive
a short distance by operating
the priming pump at least
10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fi l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t fi v e litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the

15 seconds, operate the priming
pump again approximately

If the emission control warning lamp
has come on, it will only switch off
after your vehicle has been used
several times.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is
too great or there is a reduction in
the performance of the system, the
parking brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
