Buick Encore: Warning Lights, Gauges, and Indicators / Charging System Light

The charging system light comes on briefly
when the ignition is turned on, but the
engine is not running, as a check to show
the light is working. It should go out when
the engine is started.

electrical charging system. Have it checked
by your dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.

off

conditioner.
