Charging System Light

The charging system light
will come on briefly when
you turn the ignition key to
ON as a check to show you
it’s working. Then it should
go out.

If it stays on, or comes on while you’re driving,
you may have a problem with the charging system.
It could indicate that you have a loose drive belt or
another electrical problem. Have it checked right away.
Driving while this light is on could drain your battery.

If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

Brake System Warning Light

Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though,
you need both parts working well.

If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.

a problem.
