Chevrolet Equinox EV Warning Lights: What They Mean

Amber: check soon

Pedestrian Ahead Indicator

A pedestrian is detected in front of the vehicle. PDF page 98

Other warnings and indicators

Airbag Readiness Light

Shows an electrical problem with the airbag system; if it stays on or comes on while driving, airbags may not inflate properly or may inflate without a crash.
What to do: Have the vehicle serviced right away. PDF page 93

Brake System Warning Light

Shows a brake system problem. Vehicle speed may be limited, the pedal may be harder to push or go closer to the floor, and stopping may take longer.
What to do: Pull off the road and stop carefully. If the light stays on, have the vehicle towed for service. PDF page 96

Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light

ABS has detected a problem and is not working as expected. Regular brakes still work. With the brake warning light also on, both systems are affected.
What to do: See your dealer for service. PDF page 96

Service Electric Parking Brake Light

Staying on or appearing while driving means a problem with the electric parking brake; other safety functions that use it may be affected.
What to do: Take the vehicle to a dealer as soon as possible. PDF page 96

Electric Parking Brake Light

Displays when the Electric Parking Brake is applied. Flashing after release or while driving indicates a problem with the system.
What to do: If the light does not display or keeps flashing, see your dealer. PDF page 96

Low Tire Pressure Warning Light

Low tire pressure detected. If it flashes about a minute then stays on, the TPMS has a malfunction and may not detect low pressure.
What to do: Stop as soon as possible and inflate tires to the pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label. PDF page 303

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Disabled Light

Automatic Emergency Braking or Front Pedestrian Braking is turned off, or unavailable due to malfunction, weather, or a dirty windshield. PDF page 98

Summarized in our own words from the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV 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.
