CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT

The charging system light comes on

turns off when the engine is started. If it
does not, have the vehicle serviced by
your CHEVROLET retailer. If the light
stays on, or comes on while driving,
there could be a problem with the
electrical charging system. Have it
checked by your CHEVROLET
retailer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
If a short distance must be driven with
the light on, be sure to turn off all
accessories, such as the radio and air
conditioner.
