Chevrolet City Express Warning Lights: What They Mean

Other warnings and indicators

Brake System Warning Light

Comes on if the parking brake is set or does not fully release; staying on after release, or coming on while driving, means a brake problem.
What to do: If on while driving, pull off the road and stop carefully, check brake fluid level, and have the vehicle towed for service. PDF page 95

Airbag Readiness Light

If it stays on, flashes after starting, or comes on while driving, the airbag system may not work properly.
What to do: Have the vehicle serviced right away. PDF page 91

Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light

The engine has overheated; driving with it on can damage the engine.
What to do: Pull over and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating. PDF page 97

Power Steering Warning Light

With the engine running, power assist for steering is lost; steering is harder, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.
What to do: Have the power steering system checked by your dealer. PDF page 96

Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light

If it stays on or returns while driving, the ABS needs service; the regular brakes still work unless the brake warning light is also on.
What to do: Stop safely, turn the ignition off, restart to reset; if the light stays on or returns, have the vehicle serviced. PDF page 95

Traction Control System (TCS)/Electronic Stability Control Light

Steady means TCS and possibly ESC are disabled. Flashing means TCS and/or ESC is actively working. PDF page 96

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Off Light

ESC is turned off, which also turns TCS off, so the system does not assist in controlling the vehicle.
What to do: Turn on the TCS and ESC systems to turn the light off. PDF page 97

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

Lit means the front passenger airbag is off and will not inflate; not lit means it is operational. PDF page 91

Overdrive Off Light

Comes on when the overdrive is turned off. PDF page 95

Summarized in our own words from the 2018 Chevrolet City 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.
