The diesel engine fuel filter plays a vital role in separating water from the fuel and storing it in the lower part of the filter.

If a large amount of water accumulates in the fuel filter, the warning light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON position.

In this case, we recommend that you have the system serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

If accumulated water is not drained in time, it may leak into the fuel filter and damage major vehicle components such as the fuel system.
