Charging System Indicator - Honda Automobiles 2009 Civic Hybrid Owner's Manual

Charging System Indicator

If the charging system
indicator comes on brightly
when the engine is running, the 12
volt battery is not being charged.
Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories. Try not to use other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
Go to a service station or garage
where you can get technical
assistance.

If the Auto Idle Stop is active for an
extended period, the charging
system indicator may come on. If it
happens, start the engine.
The charging system indicator may
also come on if the Integrated Motor
Assist (IMA) battery charge drops
below a desired level and the engine
starts to recharge the battery.
This indicator may blink after you
start the vehicle in the morning
when the temperature is below
°F ( 30°C). It will stop blinking
when the IMA battery warms up.
