Diesel engine speed

Diesel engines are fitted with an injection pump with an electronic regulator which prevents overrevving of the engine irrespective of the gear engaged.

If the Ä and © warning lights come on, consult an approved dealer as soon as possible.

When driving, depending on the fuel grade used, it is possible that white smoke may be emitted.

This is due to the exhaust particle filter being cleaned automatically, and does not affect the way the vehicle runs.

Running out of fuel

You may start the engine normally after refilling the fuel tank even if you have completely run out of fuel, provided that the battery is fully charged.

However, if the engine does not start after a few seconds and several attempts, refer to the information on the “Fuel tank” in Section 1.

Precautions to be taken in winter

To avoid any faults in icy weather:

- make sure that the battery is always fully charged;

- always keep the diesel tank relatively full to prevent water vapour condensing in it and accumulating at the bottom of the tank.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.
