Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter in the diesel engine
operates the critical function of sepa-
rating water from the fuels and accu-
mulating the water in its bottom.
When enough water is accumulated
inside the fuel filter, the warning light
illuminates with the ignition switch in
the ON position.
In this case, we recommend you to
have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When the accumulated water is not
drained at a proper timing, water
may permeate in the fuel filter,
damaging the major vehicle com-
ponents, such as the fuel system.

Information
When replacing the fuel filter car-
tridge, we recommend that you use
parts for replacement from an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
