Voltmeter
When the engine is not running, the voltmeter shows the
voltage output of your battery. When the engine is
running, it shows the voltage output of the charging
system.
Readings between the shaded areas show the normal
operating range. The reading will change as the rate of
charge changes (with engine speed, for example), but if
the voltmeter reads in either shaded area, and it stays
there, you may have a problem with the charging system,
Have it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter
reading in a shaded area could drain your battery.

If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a shaded area, turn off all your accessories,
including your comfort controls and audio systems.
For numeric gauge measurements, press the GAUGES
button on the Trip Monitor until VOLT appears. The
number that appears next to the fuel gauge is the battery
voltage.
