diate service is required and you may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and

during starting, have the system checked by an autho-

electrical devices or increase engine speed (if at idle). If
the charging system light remains on, it means that the
vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging
system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an autho-
rized dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting
Procedures” in “What To Do In Emergencies”.

The “SERV 4WD Indicator Light” will come on
when the ignition key is turned to the ON/
RUN position and will stay on for two seconds.
If the light stays on or comes on during driv-

properly and that service is required.
