Charging System Light

The charging system light
will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition, as
a check to show you it’s
working. Then it should
go out.

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 a loose accessory 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.

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.

If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.

This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key to RUN. If it doesn’t come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
