Charging System Light
This light will come on briefly when the
ignition is turned on, and the engine is not
running, as a check to show it is working.
It should go out when the engine is started.
If it stays on, or comes on while driving,
there may be a problem with the electrical
charging system. Contact the Vanderhall
Service department. Driving while this light
is on could drain the battery. If a short
distance must be driven with the light on,
turn off all accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner, to help reduce the
drain on the battery.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check
Engine Light)
This light is part of the vehicle’s emission
control on-board diagnostic system. If this
light is on while the engine is running, a
malfunction has been detected and the

Being aware of the light and seeking service
promptly when it comes on may prevent
damage
Caution
If the vehicle is driven continually with
this light on, the emission control
system may not work as well, the fuel
economy may be lower, and the vehicle
may not run smoothly. This could lead
to costly repairs.
Caution
Modifications to the engine,
transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel
system, or the use of replacement tires
that do not meet the original tire
specifications, can cause this light to
come on. This could lead to costly
repairs. This could also affect the
vehicle’s ability to pass an Emissions
Inspection/ Maintenance test.
