BATTERY NOT CHARGING
-
7 : This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
-
8:
This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You
can
reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
-
6: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge and may take a few hours to do
so. Consider using an auxiliary charger to boost the
battery after returning home or to a final destination.
(Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions
when using a battery charger.)
If this message appears and stays on while driving or
after starting your vehicle, have it checked immediately
to determine the cause of this problem. To help the
generator recharge the battery quickly, you can reduce
the load on the electrical system by turning off the
accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) by pressing the INFO
button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM -108:
The circuit in
the brake booster vacuum has shorted or is loose when
this message appears. Your vehicle may lose power
brakes but you will still have the use of manual brakes.
The power brakes will not be affected if the problem is
caused by a failed sensor. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately at your dealership.

changed within 200 miles (322 km). See "Engine Oil"
