Charging System Light - Chevrolet 2005 SSR Pickup Owner's Manual

{
CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the passenger's
frontal airbag, it means that something may be
wrong with the airbag system. The passenger's
frontal airbag 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 1-47 .

Charging System Light

It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays
on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with the charging system. It could indicate
that you have problems with a generator drive belt, or
another electrical problem. Have it checked right
away. Driving while this light is on could drain your
battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on,
be certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the
radio and air conditioner.
The charging system light
will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition,
but the engine is not
running, as a check to
show you it is working.
