Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation or is switched off (indicator lamp),
or has a fault (warning lamp).
Indicator and warning lamps
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds when the vehicle's ignition is
switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
Certain warning lamps may come on in one of
two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination to the
operation of the vehicle can it be determined
whether the situation is normal or a fault has
occurred. In the event of a fault, the illumination
of the warning lamp may be accompanied by
an audible signal and/or a message.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a
warning lamp must be investigated further
using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes on
in the instrument panel and/or instrument panel
screen, this confirms that the corresponding
system has come into operation.
Deactivation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes
on, this confirms that the corresponding system
has been switched off intentionally.
This is may be accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message.
