Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter in the diesel engine 
separates water from fuel and prevents 
water from accumulating.
When water is accumulated inside the 
fuel filter, the fuel filter (
) warning light 
illuminates with the Engine Start/Stop 
button in the ON position.
If this occurs, we recommend that 
you have the system checked by an 
authorised Retailer of Genesis Branded 
Products.
NOTICE
When accumulated water is not drained 
at the proper timing, water may 
permeate in the fuel filter, damaging 
the major vehicle components, such as 
the fuel system.
Fuel filter cartridge replacement
We recommend the fuel filter cartridge 
be replaced by an authorised Retailer 
of Genesis Branded Products according 
to the Maintenance Schedule at the 
beginning of this chapter.
Checking the washer fluid level
OJX1099007OJX1099007
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid 
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain 
water may be used if washer fluid is not 
available. However, use washer solvent 
with antifreeze characteristics in cold 
climates to prevent freezing.
 WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, take 
the following safety precautions when 
using washer fluid:
•  Do not use engine coolant or 
antifreeze in the washer fluid 
reservoir. Engine coolant can 
severely obscure visibility when 
sprayed on the windscreen and 
may cause loss of vehicle control 
resulting in an accident or damage to 
paint and body trim.
•  Do not allow sparks or flame to 
contact the washer fluid or the 
washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid 
may contain alcohol and can be 
flammable.
•  Do not drink washer fluid and avoid 
contact with skin. Washer fluid is 
harmful to humans and animals.
•  Keep washer fluid away from 
children and animals.
