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
- 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 also on, regular brakes are affected too.
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.
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
- Tow/Haul mode has been activated. PDF page 80
Green: system on
- Vehicle Ahead Indicator
- Green shows a vehicle is detected ahead; amber means you are following a vehicle too closely. PDF page 80
