Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, visual indicators
which inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operation
of a system (operation or deactivation indicator
lamps). Certain lamps light up in two ways
(fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message
displayed in a screen.
Relating the type of illumination to the
operating status of the vehicle can determine
whether the situation is normal or a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
Persistent warning lamp
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of a red or orange
warning lamp indicates a fault that needs
further investigation, using any associated
message and the description of the warning
lamp in the documentation.
Where a warning lamp remains lit
The references (1) , (2) and (3) in the warning
lamp description indicate whether you should
contact a qualified professional in addition to
the immediate recommended actions.
(1 ) : You must stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and switch off the ignition.
(2): Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
(3) : Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
