Voltmeter (OPTION)
When the engine is running, the gage
shows the condition of the charging
system. Readings between the red
warning zones indicate the normal
operating range.
Readings in either red warning zone
indicate
a possible problem in the
electrical system. Have your vehicle
serviced immediately.
When your engine is not running, but
the ignition is on (in
the Run position),
the gage shows your battery’s state of
charge.
Battery Warning Light
The charging system light will come on
briefly when you turn on the ignition as
a check to show you it is working. Then
it should
go out. If it stays on, or comes
on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with the electrical charging
system. It could indicate that you have
a loose 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.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Chevrolet’s hydraulic brake
system
is divided into two parts. If one
part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you.
For good
braking, though, you need both parts
working well.
If the warning light goes
on, there could be a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right
away.
This light should come on as you start
the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on then,
have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you
if there’s a problem.
