It should come on briefly when you turn on the ignition,
before the engine is running, as a check to show that it
is working.
If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, have it
checked right away. You may have a loose generator
drive belt or some other problem.
Driving while this light is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, turn
off your radio and other accessories. Sustained driving
with a generator failure could result in a lack of back
braking if the engine quits or the power steering pump
should fail.
The charging system light is
located in the center of the
instrument panel cluster just
above the odometer.
