Control lamp of a charge of the rechargeable battery
The control lamp of a charge of the storage battery lights up at inclusion of ignition and dies away after start-up of the engine. If the lamp comes on while driving, it indicates that there is no charge current to the battery. In this case, you must immediately stop driving and stop the engine.

If the alternator drive belt breaks, it is forbidden to continue driving, since in this case there is no water pump drive. The belt must be replaced on site or at a workshop.
