Charging System Indication
The charging system light should go
out after the engine starts. If it comes
on brightly with the engine running,
the alternator is no longer charging
the battery.
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Table of Contents
Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories: radio, climate control,
rear defogger, cruise control, etc. Try
not to use other electrically-operated
controls such as the power windows.
Keep the engine running and take
extra care not to stall it. Starting the
engine will discharge the battery
rapidly.
By eliminating as much of the
electrical load as possible, you can
drive several miles before the battery
is too discharged to keep the engine
running. Drive to a service station or
garage where you can get technical
assistance.
