Voltmeter
I
When the key is in the
ON
position with the engine not
running, the voltmeter
shows the voltage output of
your battery. When the
engine is running, it shows
the voltage output of the
charging system.
The reading will change as the rate of charge changes
(with engine speed, for example), but
if
the voltmeter
reads at
9
volts or below, your instrument panel and
other systems may shut down. The Driver Information
Center (DIC) will read LOW
VOLTAGE
when your
vehicle is at
10
volts or below. Have it checked right
away. Driving with the voltmeter reading at
10
volts or
below could drain your battery and disable your vehicle.
Brake
System
Warning Light
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
BRAKE
This light should come on
when you turn the ignition
key to
START.
If
it doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed
so
it will be ready to warn
you
if
there’s a problem.
If
this warning light stays on after you start the engine,
the parking brake may not be set or there could be a
brake problem. Refer to “Parking Brake” in the Index to
see if it is set. If the parking brake is not set, have your
brake system inspected right away.
