Voltmeter Gage
14
9
When your engine is
not running, but the
ignition is on (in the
RUN position), this
gage shows your
battery's state of
charge in DC volts.
When the engine is running, the gage shows the condition
of
the charging
system. Readings between the low and high warning zones indicate the
normal operating range.
Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a large number of
electrical accessories are operating in the vehicle and the engine is left at an
idle for an extended period. This condition is normal since the charging
system is not able to provide full power at engine idle. As engine speeds are
increased, this condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds allow
the charging system to create maximum power.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading in either warning zone.
If you must drive, turn off all unnecessary accessories.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible problem in the electrical
system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL)
Feed Wire
Your vehicle includes a Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) located
above the rear window.
If equipment such as a cap or camper is installed, a wire labeled "Center
High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL)" feed is provided along the left rear
frame. This wire should be used to install a CHMSL in the cap or camper.
