FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL)Draining water from fuel filterThe fuel filter for diesel engine plays an
important role of separating water from
fuel and accumulating the water in its
bottom.

warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.If this warning light illuminates,
we recommend that the sys-
tem by checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

you replace the fuel filter, be sure to
extract air from the fuel system as it
makes it difficult to start the engine.

2. Extract air from the fuel filter by remov- ing the bolt(2) with a cross-tip screw
driver and reinstall the bolt(2).

✽ ✽NOTICE• Use cloths when you extract air so that
the fuel is not sprayed around.
• Clean the fuel around the fuel filter or the injection pump before starting the
engine to prevent fire.
