Removal of water from the fuel fil-
ter
If the fuel filter warning light illuminates
during driving, it indicates that water has
accumulated in the fuel filter. If this
occurs, remove the water as described
below.
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of
the fuel filter.
2. Operate the hand pump slowly 6 or 7
times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug.
3. Tighten the drain plug when water no
longer comes out.
4. Loosen the air plug and bleed the air.
(Refer to "Bleeding the fuel system")
5. Check to be sure that the warning light
illuminates when the ignition key is
turned to "ON", and that it goes off
when the engine is started.
If in doubt, we recommend that you
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE

WARNING
• Do not smoke or have any other
open flame near the vehicle while
bleeding the fuel system.
• Be sure to carefully wipe away
any water drained out in this
manner, because the fuel mixed
in the water might be ignited and
result in a fire.
