If a short distance must be driven
with the light on, be sure to turn off
all accessories, such as the
radio and air conditioner.
Voltmeter Gage
When the engine is not running, but
the ignition is on, this gage shows
the battery’s state of charge in
DC volts.
When the engine is running, this
gage shows the condition of
the charging system. The vehicle’s
charging system regulates
voltage based on the state of
charge of the battery. The voltmeter
may fluctuate. This is normal.
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 idling for an extended
period.
If there is a problem with the battery
charging system, a SERVICE
BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM
message appears in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) and/or the
charging system light comes on.
See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-48 and Charging
System Light on page 3-32 for more
information.
However, readings in either warning
zone can indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system.
Have the vehicle serviced as soon
as possible.
Brake System Warning
Light
This vehicle’s hydraulic brake
system is divided into two parts. If
one part is not working, the
other part can still work and stop
the vehicle. For good braking
both parts need to be working.
If the warning light comes on, there
is a brake problem. Have the
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on briefly
when the ignition key is turned
to ON/RUN. If it does not come on
then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn if there is a problem.
This light may also come on due
to low brake fluid. See Brakes
on page 5-24 for more information.
