Voltmeter Gage - Chevrolet 2005 Corvette Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the passenger's
frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if
equipped), it means that something may be
wrong with the airbag system. The passenger's
frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if
equipped) could inflate even though the switch
is off. If this ever happens, do not let anyone
whom the national government has identified
as a member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the passenger's position (for example, do
not secure a rear-facing child restraint in your
vehicle) until you have your vehicle serviced.
See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-48.

Voltmeter Gage

The reading will change as the rate of charge changes
(with engine speed, for example), but if the voltmeter
reads at 9 volts or below, your instrument panel cluster
and other systems may shut down. The Driver
Information Center (DIC) will read BATTERY VOLTAGE
LOW when your vehicle is at 10 volts or below. Have
it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter reading
at 10 volts or below could drain your battery and
disable your vehicle.
The voltmeter shows the
voltage output of your
battery. When the engine
is running, it shows
the voltage output of the
charging system.
