It will light when turning on ignition switch. After the engine is started, the light should be gone out.

If the generator belt is in normal condition, please drive your vehicle to the nearest Chery authorized service station immediately for
overhauling. But in consideration of the fact that the battery will discharge continuously during driving, all the unnecessary electrical
