Place a water tray under the fuel fil-ter.
Loosen the drain plug and drain water.
After water is drained, securely tighten the drain plug.
After starting the engine, check to make certain the fuel filter warning
light is off.

bumper or bumper hardware can
result in damage to the vehicle.

a problem with your vehicle. If the
water leaks into the lamp bulb cir-
cuitry, have the vehicle checked by
an Authorized Kia Dealer.
