Charging System Light - Pontiac Wave 2008 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 3-30 for more on this, including
important safety information.

Charging System Light

It should go out when the engine is started. If it stays
on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have a
problem with the electrical charging system. Have it
checked by your dealer/retailer. 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 to
help reduce the drain on the battery.
This light will come on
briefly when the ignition is
turned on, and the
engine is not running, as a
check to show you it is
working.
