Turn the drain plug counter-
clockwise about 2 to 2 1/2
turns.
Loosening more than this will
cause water oozing from around
the drain plug.

tabs of the bracket and the
installing groove, and install the
fuel filter to the bracket as
shown in the illustration.
Operate the priming pump until
fuel begins to run out.
For EURO VI models*3: Remove the fuel filter from the bracket
again.
After draining, tighten the drain plug by hand.
For EURO VI models*3: Install the fuel filter to the bracket again.

When trouble arises
Fuel pump shut off system (gasoline engine only)
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.
Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start system) or ACCESSORY mode or off
(vehicles with smart entry & start system).
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.
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.
