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 5-28 for more information.
If this message comes on and stays on, see your dealer.
