GMC Savana Warning Lights: What They Mean

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

Red: stop or act now

Brake System Warning Light
Parking brake is set or not fully released, brake fluid may be low, or a brake system problem exists. Pedal may feel harder or go lower.
What to do: If it stays on after the parking brake is released, have brakes inspected. If it shows while driving, stop carefully; if still on, have the vehicle towed. PDF page 80

Amber: check soon

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) Light
Flashing amber means the lane marking was crossed without a turn signal. Green means LDW is on and ready. PDF page 80

Other warnings and indicators

What to do: See your dealer for service. PDF page 80
Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
One or more tires are low on pressure. Flashing then steady light means the TPMS is malfunctioning and may not detect low pressure.

Tow/Haul Mode Light
Tow/Haul mode has been activated. PDF page 80

Summarized in our own words from the 2026 GMC Savana 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.
