SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with
injection equipment which
prevents overrevving of the engine
irrespective of the gear in use. There
is thus no point in continuing to
accelerate - you should change gear
instead.
Running out of fuel
You may start the engine normally
after refilling the fuel tank if it had
emptied completely and provided
that the battery is well-charged.
However, if after a few seconds and
several attempts the engine fails to
start, air must be bled from the
circuits to reprime them (see
Bleeding method).
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any problems in icy
conditions:
- ensure that the battery is always
fully charged;
- to avoid condensation forming in
the fuel tank and accumulating at
the bottom, do not allow the level
of fuel to become too low.
