Charging
System
lndicator Light
The red charging
system indicator light
is above your oil
temperature gage on
your instrument
cluster and will come
on briefly when you
turn
on
the ignition,
but the engine is
not
running,
as
a check to
show you it is
working.
It should go
out
once the engine is running.
If
it stays on,
or
comes on while
you are driving, you may have a problem with the charging system. It could
indicate that
you
have problems with a generator drive belt, or another
electrical 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 air conditioner.
