Charging System Light - Pontiac G3 2010 Owner's Manual

If the words PASSENGER AIRBAG ON or the on
symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the right front passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped) is
enabled (may inflate).
If the words PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF or the off
symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing system has turned
off the right front passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped).
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 passenger sensing
system. See your dealer/retailer for service.
WARNING:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on and
stays on, it means that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 4 23
for more information, including important safety
information.

Charging System Light

This light will come on briefly when the ignition is turned
on, and the engine is not running, as a check to show it
is working.
It should go out when the engine is started. If it stays
on, or comes on while driving, there may have a
problem with the electrical charging system. Have it
checked by your dealer/retailer. Driving while this light is
on could drain the battery. If a short distance must be
driven with the light on, turn off all accessories, such as
the radio and air conditioner to help reduce the drain on
the battery.
