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
