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.

when the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button is in the ON
position.
If this warning light illumi -
nates, take your car to a pro -
fessional workshop and have
drain the water and check the sys -
tem. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service part -
ner.
CAUTION
If the water accumulated in the fuel
filter is not drained at proper times,
damages to the major parts such as
the fuel system can be caused by
water permeation in the fuel filter.
