12 Volt Battery Charging System Indicator
If the charging system
indicator comes on brightly
when the engine is running, the 12
volt battery is not being charged.
You will also see a ''CHECK
CHARGING SYSTEM'' message on
the multi-information display (see
page
63
).
Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories. Try not to use other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
Go to a service station or garage
where you can get technical
assistance.

The charging system indicator may
also come on if the Integrated Motor
Assist (IMA) battery charge drops
below a desired level and the engine
starts to recharge the battery.
This indicator may blink after you
start the vehicle in the morning
when the temperature is below
°F ( 30°C). It will stop blinking
when the IMA battery warms up.
