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

Other warnings and indicators

Airbag Readiness Light
If it stays on after starting or comes on while driving, the airbag system may not work properly; airbags might not inflate in a crash.
What to do: Have the vehicle serviced right away. PDF page 107
Brake System Warning Light
If it stays on or shows while driving, the brake system has a problem or brake fluid may be low. Speed may be limited and stopping may take longer.
What to do: Pull off the road and stop carefully. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. PDF page 110
Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light
The ABS has detected a problem. Regular brakes still work, but ABS is not functioning as expected. With the brake warning light, regular brakes are affected too.
What to do: See your dealer for service. PDF page 110
Service Electric Parking Brake Light
If it stays on or shows while driving, the Electric Parking Brake has a problem, and other safety functions that use it may be affected.
What to do: Take the vehicle to a dealer as soon as possible. PDF page 110
Electric Parking Brake Light
It shows when the Electric Parking Brake is applied. Flashing after release or while driving means the system has a problem.
What to do: If the light does not display or keeps flashing, see your dealer. PDF page 110
Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
One or more tires are significantly under-inflated. If it flashes about a minute then stays on, the tire pressure monitor system is malfunctioning.
What to do: Stop as soon as possible and inflate tires to the pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label. PDF page 295
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
ON means the front passenger airbag may inflate; OFF means the sensing system turned it off. Both lit or none lit suggests a problem.
What to do: If both or no lights show, or the airbag readiness light is on, see your dealer right away. PDF page 107

Green: system on

ACC Indicator
Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged. It shows white when ACC is on but not engaged, and blue while overridden by the accelerator. PDF page 203
