Maintenance 179

This indicator should come on when
the ignition switch is
ON (II), and go
out after the engine starts.
If it
comes on brightly when the engine
is running, it indicates that the
charging system has stopped
charging the battery. Immediately
turn off
all electrical
accessories: radio, heater, A/C,
cruise control, etc.
Try not to use
other electrically-operated controls
such as
the power windows. Keep
the engine running and take extra
care not to stall
it. Starting the
engine
will discharge the battery
rapidly.
Charging System Indicator
By eliminating as much of the
electrical load as possible, you can
drive several miles (kilometers)
before
the battery is too discharged
to keep the engine running. Drive to
a service station or garage where
you can get technical assistance.
