Charging system warn-
ing light
This warning light indicates a mal-
function of either the generator or
electrical charging system.
If the warning light comes on while
the vehicle is in motion:
1. Drive to the nearest safe location.
2. With the engine off, check the gen-
erator drive belt for looseness or
breakage.
3. If the belt is adjusted properly, a
malfunction may exist somewhere
in the electrical charging system.

dealer correct the problem as
soon as possible.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
When the charging system warning
light comes on or the system voltage
is low, the vehicle steering effort
may increase.
WARNING - Low tire
pressure
Significantly low tire pressure
can make the vehicle unstable
and can contribute to loss of
vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on tires with
low pressure can cause the
tires to overheat and fail.
WARNING - Safe stopping
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors.
