Fuel Filter

The fuel filter should be replaced
according to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule.
On petrol models
It is recommended to replace the
fuel filter every 40,000 km (25,000
miles), or 2 years (except EU, South
Africa and Russia)/every 45,000 km,
or 3 years (Russia, Ukraine), if the
fuel you are using is suspected to be
contaminated. In a high dust
environment, the filter may become
clogged sooner.
On all models
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.

Maintenance
Draining Water
(Diesel models only)
If this symbol or this symbol with a
''WATER IN FUEL FILTER''
message shows on the multi-
information display, water has
accumulated in the fuel system,
which may cause damage to the fuel
injection system. Contact your dealer
as soon as possible to have the water
drained off.
After the vehicle has been stored for
an extended period, the engine may
not start. If water has accumulated in
the fuel system, you will see the
symbol on the multi-information
display when you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position. This
may also be caused by air in the fuel
system. In this case, follow the
procedure for Priming the Fuel
System (see page 501 ).
