reading in the red area and/or a
message appears in the Driver
Information Center (DIC), the
vehicle must be stopped and the
cause checked. One possible cause
is a low fluid level in the
transmission.
For information on the DIC
messages see Transmission
Messages on page 5‑41.
Notice: If the vehicle is driven
with the transmission
temperature gauge above the
normal operating range, the
transmission can be damaged.
This could lead to costly repairs
that would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Do not drive the
vehicle while the transmission
temperature gauge reading is
above normal. See your dealer for
service.
Voltmeter Gauge
Metric
English
For vehicles with this gauge, it is
near the shift lever, and shows the
battery's state of charge in DC volts.
When the engine is running, and the
ignition is on, this gauge shows the
condition of the charging system.
The vehicle's charging system
regulates voltage based on the state
of charge of the battery. It is normal
for the voltmeter to fluctuate.
Readings between the low and high
warning zones indicate the normal
operating range.
Readings in the low warning zone
can 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 message
appears in the Driver Information
Center (DIC) and/or the charging
system light comes on. See Battery
Voltage and Charging Messages on
page 5‑33 and Charging System
Light on page 5‑17 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.
