VOLTS
18
When the engine is not
running, the voltmeter
shows the voltage output
of your battery.
When
the
engine is running, it shows
the voltage output of the
charging system.
Readings between the shaded areas show the normal
operating range. The reading will change as the rate of
charge changes (with engine speed, for example), but
if
the
voltmeter reads in either shaded area, and it stays there,
you may have a problem with the charging system. Have it
checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter reading
in
a shaded area could
drain
your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a shaded area, turn
off
all your accessories,
including your comfort controls and audio systems.
For numeric gauge
measurements, press the
GAUGES
button on the
trip monitor until
VOLT
appears. The number that
appears next to the fuel
gauge is the battery voltage.
