A method (100) of operating a cooling system (1, 1') of a vehicle (2) is disclosed. The cooling system (1, 1') comprises a first and a second coolant circuit (6, 8). The first coolant circuit (6) comprises a first coolant pump (10), a conduit section (12) connected to a pump inlet (10') of the first coolant pump (10), a primer conduit (18), a filling point (75), and a conduit portion (p6) located between the filling point (75) and the pump inlet (10'), wherein the conduit portion (p6) is arranged below the pump inlet (10'). The method (100) comprises the steps of initiating (110) a supply of coolant from the second coolant circuit (8) to the conduit section (12) via the primer conduit (18) during standstill of the first coolant pump (10), and then initiating (120) operation of the first coolant pump (10). The present disclosure further relates to a computer program, a computer-readable medium (200), a control arrangement (21), a cooling system (1, 1'), and a vehicle (2).
