![Buick Encore. Charging System Light](images/charging_system_light-111/1/buick_encore_charging_system_light_214.gif)
The charging system light comes on briefly
when the ignition is turned on, but the
engine is not running, as a check to show
the light is working. It should go out when
the engine is started.
If the light stays on, or comes on while
driving, there may be a problem with the
electrical charging system. Have it checked
by your dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
When this light comes on, or is flashing, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) also displays
a message. 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.
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system.
See Passenger Sensing System for
important safety information. The
instrument panel has a passenger airbag
status indicator...
This light is part of the vehicle’s emission
control on-board diagnostic system. If this
light is on while the engine is running, a
malfunction has been detected and the
vehicle may require service...

Your satisfaction and goodwill are important

concerns with the sales transaction or the
operation of the vehicle will be resolved by
your dealer's sales or service departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best
intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur...

turns the lamp off after some time...
