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.

Fuel pump shut off system
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.
Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
Restart the engine.
NOTICE
Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or when
an airbag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off system
stops the supply of fuel to the engine.

HILUX_EE (OM0K132E)
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
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on when the boost pressure in
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.

If you run out of fuel and the engine stalls
NOTICE
When restarting the engine
Do not crank the engine before refueling and operating the priming pump.
This may damage the engine and fuel system.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may
overheat the starter and wiring system.
If you run out of fuel and the engine stalls:
Refuel your vehicle.
To bleed the fuel system,
operate the priming pump until
you feel more resistance.
Start the engine. (P. 162)
If the engine does not start after the above steps have been per-
formed, wait for 10 seconds and try step 2 and 3 again. If the
engine still does not start, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
After starting the engine, depress the accelerator pedal lightly until
the engine runs smoothly.
