3. Turn the drain plug
counterclockwise using a
suitable tool.
4. With the engine off, press and
hold ENGINE START/STOP
without applying the brake for
five seconds to place the
vehicle in Service mode. Wait
approximately five seconds,
and then press ENGINE
START/STOP again to turn it
off. This operation will enhance
water flow out of the filter. The
filter is drained as soon as
diesel fuel emerges from
the port.
5. Retighten the drain plug by
turning it clockwise.
6. Properly dispose of the water
contaminated fuel.
7. Start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes. During the
draining process, air may have
entered the fuel system. If the
engine stalls, the fuel system
may need to be primed. See
Fuel Priming following.
Fuel Priming
For the fuel system to work properly,
air cannot be in the fuel lines. If air
gets in, the engine may not start
and the fuel lines will need to be
primed before operating the vehicle.
If air is present, the following may
have happened:
The vehicle ran out of fuel.
The fuel filter was removed.
The fuel lines were removed or
disconnected.
The fuel filter water drain valve
was opened while the engine
was running.
Driving and Operating
To prime the fuel system:
1. With the engine off, press and
hold the start button without
applying the brake for
five seconds to place the
vehicle in Service mode. Wait
approximately five seconds
and press start again to turn it
off. Do this step three times or
more while the engine is off.
2. Press the start button with
brake applied for a maximum
of 40 seconds at a time, with
five seconds between ignition
attempts, until the engine
starts. If the engine tries to run,
but does not run smoothly,
increase the RPMs slightly by
using the accelerator pedal.
This will help force air through
the system.
3. Repeat Step 2 if the engine
stalls and will not restart.
4. After a few attempts, if the
engine still does not start, see
your dealer.
