Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The charging system light will come on briefly when you turn the ignition
on, but the engine is not running, as a check to show you the light is
working. Then
it should go out once the engine is running. If it stays on, or
comes on while you are driving, you may have a problem with the electrical
charging system. It could indicate that you have a loose accessory drive belt,
or another electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving while
this light
is on could drain your battery.
The charging system light is on the left bottom corner of your standard
cluster. It is part
of the digital cluster voltmeter.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all
your accessories, such as the radio and heatedair conditioner.

Voltmeter
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
When your engine is not running, but the ignition is on (in the RUN
position), the gage shows your battery’s state of charge in DC volts. When
the ignition is running, the gage shows the condition of the charging system.
Readings between the low and high warning zones indicate the n\
ormal
operating range.
Readings
in either warning zone indicate a possible problem in the electrical
system.
On the digital cluster, a box around the voltmeter symbol will begin the
flash when the charging system needs service.
You can only drive for a short time with the readings in either warning zone.
If you must drive, turn off all unnecessary accessories.
