Chevrolet Aveo Warning Lights: What They Mean

Red: stop or act now

Brake System Warning Light

Comes on when the parking brake is set or not fully released; if it stays on after release, there is a brake problem.
What to do: If it comes on while driving, pull off the road carefully and stop. If still on, have the vehicle towed for service. PDF page 129

Other warnings and indicators

Airbag Readiness Light

Stays on or comes on while driving: the airbag system may not work properly, so airbags might not inflate in a crash or could inflate without one.
What to do: Have the vehicle serviced right away. PDF page 124

Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light

Staying on or coming on while driving means the antilock brakes will not work, though the regular brakes still work if the brake light is off.
What to do: Stop, turn the ignition off, and restart to reset. If the light stays on or returns, see your dealer. PDF page 129

Summarized in our own words from the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo owner's manual (AI-assisted; every light name was matched against its cited page 2026-10-18). Your vehicle may not have every light, and other years can differ. A red warning that stays on usually means stop safely and check: your manual has the final word.
