Voltmeter Gauge
English Shown, Metric Similar
For vehicles with this gauge, it is
located in front of the shifter, and
shows the battery's state of charge
in DC volts.
When the engine is running, and the
ignition is on, this gauge shows the
condition of the charging system.
The vehicle's charging system
regulates voltage based on the state
of charge of the battery. It is normal
for the voltmeter to fluctuate.
Readings between the low and high
warning zones indicate the normal
operating range.
Readings in the low warning zone
can occur when a large number of
electrical accessories are operating
in the vehicle and the engine is left
idling for an extended period.
If there is a problem with the battery
charging system, a message
appears in the Driver Information
Center (DIC) and/or the charging
system light comes on. See Battery
Voltage and Charging Messages on
page 5‑31 and Charging System
Light on page 5‑16 for more
information.
However, readings in either warning
zone can indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system.
Have the vehicle serviced as soon
as possible.
Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
panel cluster.
When the engine is started this
light and a chime come on and stay
on for several seconds to remind
drivers to fasten their safety belts.
The light also begins to flash.
This cycle repeats if the driver
remains unbuckled and the vehicle
is moving.
If the driver safety belt is already
buckled, neither the light nor the
chime comes on.
