Voltmeter
Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a
large number of electrical accessories are operating in
the vehicle and the engine is left at an idle for an
extended period. This condition is normal since the
charging system is not able to provide full power at
engine idle. As engine speeds are increased, this
condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds
allow the charging system to create maximum power.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading in
either warning zone. If you must drive, turn off all
unnecessary accessories.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system. Have the vehicle
serviced as soon as possible.
2-84
When the engine is running,
the gage shows the condition
of the charging system.
Readings between the low
and high warning zones
indicate the normal
operating range.
Brake System Warning Light
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will come on when you set your parking brake. The light
will stay on if your parking brake doesn't release fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released,
it means you have a brake problem. If you try to drive
with the parking brake engaged, a chime will sound and
the parking brake indicator will flash.
With the ignition on, the brake system warning light will
flash when you set the parking brake. The light will
flash if the parking brake doesn't release fully. If you
try to drive with the parking brake engaged, a chime
will sound.
Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light and chime come on, there could be
a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected
right away.
