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 waterin its bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter,
the warning light comes on when the
ignition key is in the “ON” position.
Have water drained from fuel filter by
authorized KIA dealer when the
warning light comes on. Fuel filter cartridge replace- ment
Have fuel filter cartridge replaced by
an authorized KIA dealer accordingto the Maintenance Schedule at thebeginning of this section.
✽✽
NOTICE
When replacing the fuel filter cartridge,
use KIA genuine parts.
Extracting air in the fuel filter
If you drove until you have no fuel left
or if you replaced the fuel filter, be
sure to extract air in the fuel system
as it makes you difficult to start the
engine.
1. Remove the air extract nozzle cap on the fuel filter.
2. Pump up and down until the fuel flows out of the plug opening.
