ignition is turned to the ON position

the light remains on, continues to
flash or fails to illuminate, have the

system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake
warning light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.

turn signal or the hazard lights are
turned on. If one or both of the
indicators stay on continuously or
flash faster, check for a burned-out
turn signal bulb. Refer toBulbsin theMaintenance and carechapter.

headlamps are turned on.

Charging system
Illuminates when the ignition is
turned to the ON position and the
engine is off. The light also
illuminates when the battery is not
charging properly, requiring
electrical system service.
