Charging System Indicator
This indicator should come on when
the ignition switch is ON (II), and go
out after the engine starts. If it
comes on brightly when the engine
is running, it indicates that the
charging system has stopped
charging the battery.
Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories: heater, A/C, rear
defogger, etc. Try not to use other
electrically-operated controls such as
the radio. Keep the engine running
and take extra care not to stall it.
Starting the engine will discharge
the battery rapidly.
By eliminating as much of the
electrical load as possible, you can
drive several miles (kilometers)
before the battery is too discharged
to keep the engine running. Drive to
a service station or garage where
you can get technical assistance.
