Buick 2007 Rendezvous - Manual (Page 228)

Charging System Indicator Message
The charging system
battery symbol will
come on in the message
center when you turn
on the ignition as
a check to show you it
is working.
It will remain on as long as the engine is not
running. It should go out once the engine
is running. 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
problems with a generator drive belt, or another
electrical problem. Have it checked right away.
Driving while this indicator appears in the message
center could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the
message on, be certain to turn off all your
accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner.
Reduced Engine Power Message
If your vehicle has this feature, this message will
appear in the message center when a noticeable
reduction in the vehicle’s engine performance
is detected. This message will also appear when
your vehicle is in overheated engine protection
operating mode. See Engine Overheating on
page 378 for more information.
If this message comes on and stays on, see your
dealer.
