The fuel filter should be replaced
according to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Have a qualified technician change
the fuel filter. Since the fuel system
is under pressure, fuel can spray out
and create a hazard if all fuel line
connections are not handled
correctly.
Except EU (Petrol models only)
It is recommended to replace the
fuel filter every 40,000 km (25,000
miles), or 2 years, if the fuel you are
using is suspected to be
contaminated. In a high dust
environment, the filter may become
clogged sooner.
Draining Water
(Diesel models only)
When water stays in the fuel system,
the Water In Diesel Filter indicator
comes on and stays on while the
engine is running. Contact your
dealer as soon as possible (see page
284 ).
On European models
The fuel filter should be drained of
water according to the time and
distance recommendations in the
maintenance schedule.

Fuel Filter

After the vehicle has been stored for
an extended period, the engine may
not start. This may be caused by air
in the fuel system. In this case,
follow the procedure for Priming
the Fuel System (see page 284
Maintenance
).
