Land Rover Santa Fe invites you to find out why your Land Rover battery light is on.
If the battery indicator in your car comes on only when you start your vehicle, that is just a normal system test. If it stays on after a few moments, then there’s something that needs to be fixed. If you have problems with the battery, you may notice that your headlights are getting dim, the infotainment system might not turn on, and the windows are moving slowly. If you see any of these things happening, then you really need to get home or bring it to us immediately because your car is likely in imminent danger of shutting down. If neither can be reached, find a safe place to pull over and park.
Like most things automotive-related, how long you can drive with the car battery light turned on truly depends on your circumstances. If the light just came on, you can help mitigate the problem by turning off all accessories like the infotainment system or AC and removing any devices that may be connected to USB ports. Doing this will help extend the remaining battery charge, but you should still try to get here or return home. Keep in mind you should NOT shut off the engine because a dying battery may not have the power to restart.
There are many reasons why the car battery light might come on, but the most common reasons are:
A car works best when it has a charged car battery. Any one of the problems listed above will make it extremely difficult for your car battery to get fully charged. If it is not corrected soon, it can reduce the power of your battery and maybe even leave you stranded.
If there is a safe place to pull over, at least you can pop the hood and check your battery for corrosion on the battery or a loose connection. Besides those quick checks, the best way to get the battery light off is to bring it to our service center. Our skilled techs have the skills and tools to determine the problem. They’ll analyze everything from the health of your battery to checking out your alternator and advise on the correct course of action to get your car repaired.
