Charging System Light - Buick 2005 LaCrosse Owner's Manual

If the word OFF is lit on the airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing system has turned off
the right front passenger's frontal airbag. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 1-60 for more on this,
including important safety information.
If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the passenger sensing
system. See your dealer for service.
CAUTION:
{
If the off indicator and the airbag readiness
light ever come on together, it means that
something may be wrong with the airbag
system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle
serviced promptly, because an adult-size
person sitting in the right front passenger seat
may not have the protection of the frontal
airbag. See Airbag Readiness Light on
page 3-33.

Charging System Light

If it stays on, or comes on while the vehicle is being
driven, a chime will sound and there may be a problem
with the charging system. It could indicate that the
vehicle has a loose accessory belt or another electrical
problem. Have it checked right away. Driving while
this light is on could drain the battery.
If the vehicle must be driven a short distance with the
light on, be certain to turn off all the accessories,
such as the radio and air conditioner.
The charging system light
will come on briefly when
the ignition is turned
on, as a check to show
that it is working. Then it
should go out.
