Charging System Light - Cadillac 2008 SRX Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light in the instrument
panel cluster ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. If this ever happens, have
the vehicle serviced promptly, because an
adult-size person sitting in the right front
passenger's seat may not have the protection
of the airbag(s). See Airbag Readiness Light
on page 3-34 for more on this, including
important safety information.

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. A charging system
Driver Information Center (DIC) message may also
appear. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53
for more information. This light could indicate that you
have problems with a generator drive belt, or another
electrical problem. Have it checked right away. 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.
This 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.
