important role of separating water from
fuel and accumulating the water in itsbottom.

switch is in the ON position. If this warning light illuminates,
take your car to an authorized
KIA dealer and have drain the
water and checked the sys-tem. Extracting air from the fuel filter

or if you replaced the fuel filter, be
