Battery / Charging Warning

Symbol: Battery outline with + and -

Medium — check soon

What it means

The charging system is not working — usually the alternator, the battery or the drive belt. The car is running on battery power alone and will stop once it is drained.

What to do

Turn off the air conditioning, radio and heated seats to save power, and drive to a shop soon. If the car is hard to start or the lights dim, do not turn the engine off until you are somewhere safe.
