NOTE:If theGeneric Warning Light comes on, a
Service Fuel Filter message displays and a single chime is
heard with the ignition in the ON/RUN position or while
driving, there may there may be a problem with your
water separator wiring or sensor.
Please see your authorized dealer for service.
CAUTION!
If the “Generic Warning Lamp” remains on and a
Service Fuel Filter message displays, DO NOT
START engine before you drain the water from the
fuel filter to avoid engine damage.
Fuel Filter Replacement
Please see your authorized dealer for fuel filter replace-
ment.
Priming If The Engine Has Run Out Of Fuel
WARNING!
• Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the
engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel
pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause seri-
ous injury or death.
• Do not drain the fuel filter/water separator when
the engine is running. Fuel and fuel vapors may
escape causing as fire that can result in serious
injury or death.
1. Add a substantial amount of fuel to the tank, approxi- mately 2 to 5 gal (8L to 19L).
2. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position. This will activate the in-tank fuel pump for approximately
30 seconds. Repeat this process twice.

•Do not change the thermostat for Summer or Winter
operation. If replacement is ever necessary, install
ONLY the correct type thermostat. Other designs may
result in unsatisfactory engine coolant (antifreeze)
performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emis-
sions.
Brake System
Brake Master Cylinder — Brake Fluid Level Check
The fluid level of the master cylinder should be checked
when performing under the hood service, or immedi-
ately if the “Brake System Warning Light” indicates
system failure.
The brake master cylinder has a translucent plastic
reservoir. On the outboard side of the reservoir, there is a
“MAX” mark and a “MIN” mark. The fluid level must be
kept within these two marks. Do not add fluid above the
full mark because leakage may occur at the cap. With disc brakes, the fluid level can be expected to fall as
the brake linings wear. However, an unexpected drop in
fluid level may be caused by a leak and a system check
should be conducted.
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, And Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
WARNING!
•
Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake
fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further
information. Using the wrong type of brake fluid
can severely damage your brake system and/or
impair its performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on the
original factory installed hydraulic master cylinder
reservoir.
