Charging System Light
This light comes on briefly
when the ignition key is
turned to START, but
the engine is not running,
as a check to show it
is working.
If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer/retailer.
The light should go out once the engine starts. If it stays
on, or comes on while driving, there could be a problem
with the charging system. A charging system message
in the Driver Information Center (DIC) can also appear.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for
more information. This light could indicate that there
are problems with a generator drive belt, or that there
is an electrical problem. Have it checked right away.
If the vehicle must be driven a short distance with the
light on, turn off accessories, such as the radio and air
conditioner.
Up-Shift Light
The vehicle may have
an up-shift light, it shows
when to shift to the
next higher gear for
best fuel economy.
See Manual Transmission Operation on page 2-42 for
more information.
For the CTS-V, the tracer lights function as a
performance up-shift light.
These tracers flash to indicate when to shift to the
