FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL)
Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays an
important role of separating water from
fuel and accumulating the water in itsbottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter, the
warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. If this warning light illuminates,
we recommend that the system
be serviced by an authorised
Kia dealer.
Extracting air from the fuel filter
If you drive until you have no fuel left or if
you replace the fuel filter, be sure to
extract air from the fuel system as it
makes it difficult to start the engine.
1. Open the plug (A).
2. Pump up and down(1) approximately50 times until the pump is hard.
3. If fuel comes out through the nipple, close it by the plug (A).
4. Extract air from the fuel filter by remov- ing the bolt with a cross-tip screw driv- er and reinstall the bolt. 5. Pump up and down(1) approximately
15 times.
6. Extract air from the fuel filter by remov- ing the bolt with a cross-tip screw driv-er and reinstall the bolt.
7. Pump up and down (1) approximately 5 times.
✽✽ 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.
 Finally, check each part if the fuel is leaking.
CAUTION
If the water accumulated in the fuel
filter is not drained at proper times,
damages to the major parts such asthe fuel system can be caused by water permeation in the fuel filter.

WIPER BLADES

Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windscreen difficult to clean.
Contamination of either the windscreen
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
screen wipers. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water. Blade replacement When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol, kerosene,paint thinner, or other solvents on
or near them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperarms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manual-ly.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper malfunc-tion and failure.
