Charging System Light; Brake System Warning Light - Pontiac 2006 Montana SV6 Owner's Manual

Charging System Light

It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays
on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with the charging system. It could indicate
that you have problems with a generator drive belt,
or another electrical problem. Have it checked
right away. Driving while this light is on could drain
your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

The charging system light
will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition,
but the engine is not
running, as a check to
show you it is working.

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.
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 comes on, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.

fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a
problem.
