Battery Warning Light - GMC 2005 Canyon Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the airbag, it means
that something may be wrong with the airbag
system. The right front passenger's frontal
airbag could inflate even though the switch is
off. If this ever happens, do not let anyone
whom the national government has identified
as a member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the right front passenger's position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the right front passenger's seat)
until you have your vehicle serviced.

Battery Warning Light

If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you
may have a problem with the electrical charging system.
Have it checked right away. Driving while this light is
on could drain your battery and result in a vehicle that
may stall. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-41 for more information.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and climate control system.
This light will come on
briefly when you start the
vehicle, as a check to
show you it is working;
then it should go out.
