If the WATER IN FUEL LIGHT comes on and a single
chime is heard while you are driving, or with the key in
the ON position, there may be a problem with your water
separator wiring or sensor. See your authorized dealer
for service.
Upon proper draining of the water from the fuel filter, the
WATER IN FUEL LIGHT will remain illuminated for
approximately 10 seconds. If the water was drained
while the engine was running, the water in fuel light may
remain on for approximately three minutes.
NOTE:Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids
from your vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately dis-
carded, can present a problem to the environment. Con-
tact your local authorized dealer, service station, or
government agency for advice on recycling programs
and for where used fluids and filters can be properly
disposed of in your area.Drain a small amount from the fuel/water separator
filter monthly or when the WATER IN FUEL LIGHT is
on. Turn the drain valve located on the bottom of the
filter counterclockwise and allow any accumulated water
to drain into an approved container. Leave the drain
valve open until all water and contaminants have been
removed. Close the drain valve by turning it clockwise
when clean fuel is visible.
NOTE:The Fuel / Water separator drain valve is
located on the bottom of the fuel filter housing.
