Range Rover Evoque - WATER IN FUEL; DIESEL ENGINES

Some vehicles with a diesel engine are
supplied with an active misfuelling device,
i.e., a visible metal flap in the filler neck.
These vehicles will require the use of the
emergency funnel supplied with the
vehicle, to refill the fuel tank with a fuel
can. Insert the funnel into the filler neck,
fully and squarely to open the active
misfuelling device. Also see 193, ACTIVE
DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE.
Note: If the vehicle does run out of fuel,
seeking qualified assistance is advisable.
WATER IN FUEL
If the warning WATER IN FUEL SEE
HANDBOOK is displayed in the
Message centre, an excessive
amount of water has collected in
the fuel filter bowl. Seek assistance
from a Retailer/Authorised Repairer,
to have the fuel filter bowl drained
as soon as possible.
DIESEL ENGINES
Vehicles with a diesel engine are equipped
with a system to prevent the fuel tank from
emptying completely, which would then
draw air into the fuel system. When the
fuel reaches a minimum level, the system
will activate a reduced power mode (i.e.,
the engine will not run properly). This will
be followed by the engine stopping in
approximately 1.6 km.
This feature prevents the fuel system from
running dry, which could cause damage
to the vehicle. If the gauge indicates low
fuel or the warning indicator illuminates,
the fuel tank should be refuelled as soon
as possible, with at least 4 litres of fuel.
If the system protection function has
activated, the vehicle must be refuelled,
then restarted using the following
procedure:
1. With the brake pedal pressed, press
and hold the engine START/STOP
button and crank the engine for 5
seconds.
2. Release the START/STOP button.
3. With the brake pedal pressed, press
and release the START/STOP button
to crank the engine. The engine should
start within approximately 5 seconds.
Note: If the engine does not start, pause
for 10 seconds with the ignition in
Convenience mode, before repeating the
procedure from the beginning.
Do not crank the engine for longer
than 30 seconds continuously.
