2-66 Battery Light (If Equipped)
This light will come on
briefly when you start the
vehicle, as a check to show
you it is working; then it
should go out.
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 generator problem or
another electrical system problem. Have it checked right
away. Driving while this light is on could drain
your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and climate control system.
Some clusters with gages do not have a battery warning
light. They have a CHECK GAGES warning to indicate
a problem.
Voltmeter
You have a voltmeter
unless you have the
supercharged engine.
When the engine is running, the gage shows the
condition of the charging system. Readings outside the
red warning zone indicate the normal operating range.
Readings in the red warning zone indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system. On vehicles with the
optional DIC, the CHECK GAGES light will also come
on, and a warning chime will sound. Have your vehicle
serviced immediately.
