Draining water from fuel filter

The fuel filter in the diesel engine separates water from fuel and prevents water from accumulating.

When water is accumulated inside the fuel filter, the fuel filter (r) warning light illuminates with the Engine Start/Stop button in the ON position.

If this occurs, we recommend that you have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

When accumulated water is not drained at the proper timing, water may permeate in the fuel filter, damaging the major vehicle components, such as the fuel system.
