warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before driving 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 lighting to the 
operating status of the vehicle can it be 
ascertained whether the situation is normal or 
whether 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

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 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operation indicator lamps
The lighting of one of the following indicator 
lamps confirms that the corresponding system 
is on.
Deactivation indicator lamp

that the corresponding system has been 
switched off intentionally.
This may be accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message being displayed.
Visual identifiers informing the driver that 
a system is in operation, switched off (on/
off indicator lamps) or has developed a fault 
(warning lamp).
