WARNING

If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light on page 5‑15
for more
information, including important
safety information.

Charging System Light

The charging system light comes
on briefly when the ignition is turned
on, but the engine is not running, as
a check to show the light is working.
It should go out when the engine is
started.

If the light stays on, or comes
on while driving, there may be a
problem with the electrical charging

system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.

When this light comes on, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) also
displays the SERVICE BATTERY
CHARGING SYSTEM message.

See Vehicle Messages on
page 5‑37
for more information.

If a short distance must be driven
with the light on, be sure to turn off
all accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
