Chevrolet Express Warning Lights: What They Mean

6 warning and indicator lights from the 2026 Chevrolet Express owner's manual, with what to do and the manual page for each.

Red: stop or act now

Brake System Warning Light
Comes on when the parking brake is set or doesn't fully release, or when brake fluid may be low. Braking may be affected.
What to do: If on while driving, pull off and stop carefully. If still on, have the vehicle towed for service; inspect brakes if on after parking brake release. PDF page 80

Amber: check soon

Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light
ABS has detected a problem. Regular brakes still work, but ABS is not functioning as expected. With the brake light, both systems are affected.
What to do: See your dealer for service. PDF page 80

Other warnings and indicators

Tire Pressure Warning Light
Low tire pressure detected. If it flashes about a minute then stays on, the tire pressure system has a malfunction.
What to do: Stop as soon as possible and inflate tires to the pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label. PDF page 195
Tow/Haul Mode Light
Comes on when Tow/Haul mode has been activated. PDF page 80

Green: system on

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) Light
Green means LDW is on and ready. Flashing amber means a lane marking was crossed without using the turn signal. PDF page 80
Vehicle Ahead Indicator
Green shows a vehicle is detected ahead; amber shows you are following too closely. PDF page 80

Summarized in our own words from the 2026 Chevrolet Express 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.
