mally last for the service life of the battery under

ter will be happy to advise you if you have any
questions concerning the battery.

The battery is no longer being charged.
The alternator drive belt is defective or

the alternator. Have the system checked as
soon as possible.

If the drive belt is defective, pull over and
switch off the engine immediately to pre-

vent overheating and serious engine damage.
If the onboard supply voltage drops to a very
low level, increased steering effort may also be
necessary.
