HONDA 2010 Insight - Manual (Page 405)

If the charging system
indicator comes on brightly
when the engine is running, the 12
volt battery is not being charged.
Go to a service station or garage
where you can get technical
assistance.
Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories. Try not to use other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK
CHARGING SYSTEM’’ message on
the multi-information display (see
page
).
The charging system indicator may
also come on if the Integrated Motor
Assist (IMA) battery charge drops
below a desired level and the engine
starts to recharge the battery.
This indicator may blink after you
start the vehicle in the morning
when the temperature is below
20
°F ( 30°C). It will stop blinking
when the IMA battery warms up.
