Variable voltage control system (if so equipped)
CAUTION
• Do not ground accessories directly
to the battery terminal. Doing so will
bypass the variable voltage control
system and the vehicle battery may
not charge completely.
• Use electrical accessories with the
engine running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.
The variable voltage control system measures the amount of electrical discharge from the battery and controls voltage generated by the generator.
