12 Volt Battery Charging System Indicator If the charging system indicator comes on brightly when the engine is running, the 12 volt battery is not being charged. You will also see a ''CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM'' message on the multi-information display (see page 63 ). Immediately turn off all electrical accessories. Try not to use other electrically operated controls such as the power windows. Keep the engine running; starting the engine will discharge the battery rapidly. Go to a service station or garage where you can get technical assistance. The charging system indicator may also come on if the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) battery charge drops below a desired level and the engine starts to recharge the battery. This indicator may blink after you start the vehicle in the morning when the temperature is below 20 °F ( 30°C). It will stop blinking when the IMA battery warms up. 402 2010 Insight
