FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL)
Draining water from the fuel
filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays
an important role of separating water
from fuel and accumulating the water
in its bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter,
the warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
If this warning light illumi-
nates, take your car to an
authorised Kia dealer and
have drain the water and
checked the system.

If the water accumulated in the
fuel filter is not drained at prop-
er times, damages to the major
parts such as the fuel system
can be caused by water perme-
ation in the fuel filter.
