Diesel engine speed
Running out of fuel
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
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.
If, however, the engine does not start
after a few seconds and several attempts, refer to the information on the
“Diesel filter” in section 5.
The particle filter warning light 1 lights
up to show that there is a risk of the
filter becoming clogged.
To clean the particle filter, for 60 miles
(100 km) after the message appears,
drive at an average speed of at least
36 mph (60 km/h), where suitable traffic
conditions and the speed limit will allow,
until the warning light goes out.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
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 a hot exhaust system.
