8 warning and indicator lights from the 2026 Buick Enclave owner's manual, with what to do and the manual page for each.
Amber: check soon
- Vehicle Ahead Indicator
- Shows amber when you are following a vehicle too closely; it shows green when a vehicle is detected ahead. PDF page 107
- Pedestrian Ahead Indicator

Other warnings and indicators
- Airbag Readiness Light
-
Shows an electrical problem in the airbag system; if it stays on or comes on while driving, airbags may not work or may inflate without a crash.
What to do: Have the vehicle serviced right away; if it does not come on briefly at start-up, have it fixed immediately. PDF page 102 - Low Tire Pressure Telltale
-
One or more tires are significantly under-inflated, which can cause overheating and tire failure and affect handling and stopping.
What to do: Stop and check your tires as soon as possible and inflate them to the recommended pressure. PDF page 286 - 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 107
- Traction Off Light
-
Traction Control System has been turned off. It also lights briefly at start-up as a normal test.
What to do: If it does not display at start-up, see your dealer for service. PDF page 107 - Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
- ON means the front passenger airbag may inflate; OFF means the passenger sensing system turned it off. Both lit or neither lit suggests a problem. PDF page 102
Green: system on
- Regular Cruise Control Indicator
-
Lit when regular cruise control is engaged, without the following gap displayed.
What to do: Check which cruise mode is active before using it; without ACC the vehicle will not brake automatically. PDF page 194
