MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 423 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 approximately 10 seconds. If the water was drained while the engine was running, the water in fuel light may remain on for approximately three minutes. NOTE: Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids from your vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact your local 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 a small amount from the fuel/water separator filter monthly or when the WATER IN FUEL LIGHT is on. Turn the drain valve located on the bottom of the filter counterclockwise and allow any accumulated water to drain into an approved container. Leave the drain valve open until all water and contaminants have been removed. Close the drain valve by turning it clockwise when clean fuel is visible. NOTE: The Fuel / Water separator drain valve is located on the bottom of the fuel filter housing. If more than a couple ounces of fuel has been drained, follow the directions below for "Priming if the engine has run out of fuel." 7
