BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
-
8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button.
The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine
is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
-
6: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than 9
volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message
appears immediately after starting, it is possible that the
generator can still recharge the battery. The battery should
recharge while driving but may take a few hours to do so.
Consider using an auxiliary charger (be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions) to boost the battery after
returning home or to a final destination. If this message
appears while driving or after starting your vehicle and
stays on, have it checked immediately to determine the
cause of this problem. To help the generator recharge the
battery quickly, you can reduce the load on the electrical
system by turning off the accessories. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button.
The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
