CLOSE CARGO COVER: This message indicates that the cargo cover is not in place. Open the rear compartment and make sure the cargo cover is secure and no objects are on the cover.

LOW VOLTAGE: This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message appears immediately after starting, it is possible that the generator can still recharge the battery. The battery should recharge while driving but may take a few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger (be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions) to boost the battery after returning home or to a final destination. If this message appears while driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked immediately to determine the cause of this problem.
