CAUTION!

If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO
NOT START the engine before you drain water from
the fuel filters to avoid engine damage.

If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” comes on and a

single chime is heard while you are driving, or with the

ignition switch in the ON position, there may be a

problem with your water separator wiring or sensor.

See your authorized dealer for service.
Upon proper draining of the water from both fuel filters,

the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will remain illumi-

nated for approximately 10 seconds. If the water was

drained while the engine was running, the “Water In Fuel

Indicator Light” may remain on for approximately three

minutes.

NOTE:

Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids

from your vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately dis-

carded, can present a problem to the environment. Con-

tact an authorized dealer, service station, or government

agency for advice on recycling programs and for where

used fluids and filters can be properly disposed of in

your area.
Drain the fuel/water separator filters when the “Water In

Fuel Indicator Light” is ON. Within 10 minutes of vehicle

shutdown, turn the engine mounted filter drain valve

(located on the side of the filter assembly) counterclock-

wise 1/4 turn, and turn the under body mounted filter

drain valve (located on the bottom of the filter assembly)

counterclock wise 1 full turn. Then turn the ignition

switch to the ON position, and allow any accumulated

water to drain. Leave the drain valve open until all water

and contaminants have been removed. When clean fuel is

visible, close the drain valves by turning them fully

clockwise, and turn the ignition switch to OFF.
