Draining the fuel filter water
The water in the fuel filter must be drained immediately when the fuel
system warning light flashes.
Place a small tray under the drain plug or drain hose to catch
the water.
Turn the drain plug about 2 to
2 1/2 turns.
Loosening more than this will
cause water oozing from around
the drain plug.
Operate the priming pump
until the fuel begins to run out.
After draining, retighten the drain plug. Do not use a tool.

CAUTION
If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on (vehi-
cles with VSC system)
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the
ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE

the turbocharger is abnormally high
Never drive at high speed or race the engine even after the lamp goes off.
If the fuel system warning light flashes
Never drive the vehicle with the warning light flashing. Continued driving with
water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection pump.
