Charging System Light; Malfunction Indicator Lamp; (Check Engine Light) - Cadillac XT4 Owner's Manual

106 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
If the on symbol is lit, it means that
the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag is enabled (may inflate). See
Airbag On-Off Switch 0 61 for more
information, including important
safety information.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the airbag
on-off switch. See your retailer for
service.

Charging System Light

The charging system light comes on
briefly when the ignition is turned on,
but the engine is not running, as a
check to show the light is working.
It should go out when the engine is
started.
If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving, there may be a problem
with the electrical charging system.
Have it checked by your dealer.
Driving while this light is on could
drain the battery.
When this light comes on, or is
flashing, the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) also displays a message.
If a short distance must be driven
with the light on, be sure to turn off
all accessories, such as the radio and
air conditioner. Find a safe place to
stop the vehicle.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

(Check Engine Light)

This light is part of the vehicle's
emission control on-board diagnostic
system. If this light is on while the
engine is running, a malfunction has
been detected and the vehicle may
require service. The light should come
on to show that it is working when
the ignition is in Service Mode. See
Ignition Positions 0 205.
This light may also illuminate when
the system has detected a problem
with the AdBlue management system.
See AdBlue 0 212.
Malfunctions are often indicated by
the system before any problem is
noticeable. Being aware of the light
and seeking service promptly when it
comes on may prevent damage.
Caution
If the vehicle is driven continually
with this light on, the emission
control system may not work as
well, the fuel economy may be
lower, and the vehicle may not run
smoothly. This could lead to costly
repairs that might not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Caution
Modifications to the engine,
transmission, exhaust, intake,
or fuel system, or the use of
replacement tyres that do not meet
