Charging System Light
The charging system warning light
illuminates as you turn on the ignition.
It goes out as the engine gets started.
If the charging system warning light
illuminates during driving:
1. Pull of the road in a safe manner.
2. Stop the vehicle.
3. Check that the drive belt has not
loosened or broken.
4. If the drive belt is normal but the
charging system warning light stays
illuminated, it can indicate a charging
system fault.
See your dealer for vehicle repair as soon
as possible.
Caution
The charging system warning lamp
indicates there may be a problem with
the charging system.
Do not drive your vehicle when the
charging system warning lamp is on.
Driving your vehicle while its charging
system is malfunctioning can cause
damage to the vehicle.
If you often drive the vehicle for short trips,
the battery capacity consumes more quickly,
so it is necessary to replenish the electric
energy by charging the battery or driving
on a long trip.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
The indicator lamp illuminates when the
ignition is turned on but the engine has not
started. This indicates that the indicator
lamp bulb is working normally.
The lamp goes out after the engine is
started. The malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) illuminates upon occurrence of any
component or subsystem fault related to
the emission system. Once the electronic
control module (ECM) detects any fault, MIL
will stay illuminated.
