Charging System Light

This light should come on
briefly when you turn on
the ignition, before starting
the engine, as a check
to show you it is working.

After the engine starts, the light should go out. If it stays
on or comes on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with your charging system. It could indicate a
problem with the generator drive belt, or some other
charging 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 this light on,
it helps to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

Voltmeter Gage

When your engine is not
running, but the ignition is
on (in the RUN position),
this gage shows your
battery’s state of charge in
DC volts.

When the engine is running, the gage shows the
condition of the charging system. Readings between
the low and high warning zones indicate the normal
operating range.
