Battery Voltage Low

This message will appear when the electrical system is
charging less than 10 volts or if the battery has been
drained.

If this message appears immediately after starting the
engine, it is possible that the generator can still recharge
the battery. The battery should recharge while driving but
may take a few hours to do so. Consider using an
auxiliary charger (be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions) to boost the battery after returning home or
to a final destination.

If this message appears while driving or after starting
your vehicle and stays on, have it checked immediately
to determine the cause of this problem.

To help the generator recharge the battery quickly, you
can reduce the load on the electrical system by
turning off the accessories.

The normal battery voltage range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing
the INFO button until you find BATTERY VOLTS
(Base audio system) or by selecting Battery Volts from
the Vehicle Information menu (Navigation system).
See “Vehicle Information menu” in the SRX
Entertainment and Navigation System owner’s manual
for more information.
