indicateur / voyant (de / pour la) mode automatique
In the absence of fuller context, I can only assume that's probably what it is referring to.

I really just wanted to make sure it was understood that this is not an 'indicator that works automatically', but rather, an 'indicator to show that automatic mode is in operation'.

That's the only thing I can think of that it could be, as you say , by elimination — it needs to be a function that is mutually exclusive with the others, so that rules out certain possibilities. I think 'alarm' = beep and 'auto' = wake up to radio; I expect Asker has this information and can confirm or not).
