Voltmeter Gage
14
9
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.
Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a large number
of
electrical accessories are operating
in
the vehicle and the engine is left at an
idle
for
an extended period. This condition is normal since the charging
system is not able
to
provide
full
power at engine idle.
As
engine speeds are
increased, this condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds allow
the charging system to create maximum power.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading
in
either warning zone.
If
you must drive, turn off all unnecessary accessories.
Readings
in
either warning zone indicate a possible problem
in
the electrical
system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon
as
possible.
