CAUTION!
Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new
fuel filter. There is a possibility debris could be
introduced into the fuel filter during this action. It is
best to install the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift
pump to prime the fuel system.
NOTE: The fuel filter and water separator assembly is
located on the driver’s side of the engine. The best access
to the water drain valve is through the driver’s side
wheel well.
NOTE: If water is detected in the water separator while
the engine is running or while the key is in the on
position, the water in fuel light will illuminate and an
audible chime will be heard 5 times. At this point you
should stop the engine and drain the water from the
separator.
If the water in fuel light comes on and a single chime is
heard while you are driving, or with the key 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 the fuel filter, the
water in fuel light will remain illuminated for approxi-
mately 10 seconds. If the water was drained while the
engine was running, the water in fuel light may remain
on for approximately 3 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 your local 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.
