Draining the fuel filter water
(diesel engine only)
You may drain the fuel filter your-
self. However, as the operation is
difficult, we recommend having it
drained by your Toyota dealer.
Even if you decide to drain it your-
self, contact your Toyota dealer.
The water in the fuel filter needs to
be drained if one of the following
symptoms occurs:
 Vehicles with monochrome type
multi-information display
When the fuel system warning light
flashes and buzzer sounds.
(P.607)
 Vehicles with color type multi-
information display
When the warning message
appears on the multi-information
display and buzzer sounds.
(P.620)
1 Turn the engine switch off.
2 Place a small tray under the
drain plug to catch the water.
7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
3 Perform the draining as shown
in the illustration.
1 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.
2 Operate the priming pump until
the fuel begins to run out.
4 After draining, retighten the
drain plug. Do not use a tool.
