brake alone should securely hold the
vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the
stroke is more or less than specified,

sional workshop. Kia recommends to

Fuel filter (diesel)

Draining water from the fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays an
important role of separating water from
fuel and accumulating the water in its
bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter, the
warning light comes on when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
If this warning light appears, take
your car to a professional work-
shop and have drain the water
and check the system. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
If the water accumulated in the fuel filter
is not drained at proper times, damages
to the major parts such as the fuel sys-
tem can be caused by water permeation
in the fuel filter.
Fuel filter cartridge replacement
NOTICE
When replacing the fuel filter cartridge,
use parts for replacement from a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
