Warning and indicator lamps

Visual identifiers informing the driver that a system is in operation, switched off (on/ off indicator lamps) or has developed a fault (warning lamp).

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 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

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 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

If this indicator lamp comes on, this confirms that the corresponding system has been switched off intentionally. This may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message being displayed.

indicator, the state of the engine oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds, after the servicing information.

The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.

Oil level incorrect

This is indicated by the display of the message "Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by the service warning lamp and an audible signal. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid damage to the engine. For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.

Oil level indicator fault

This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Range greater than 1,500 miles (2,400 km)

When switching on the ignition, there is no automatic display of range in the instrument panel.

Pressing this button temporarily displays the driving range with the message "AdBlue: Range greater than 1,500 miles (2,400 km)" followed, if the tank level of AdBlue permits, with a message indicating that you can top it up.

Remaining range between 1,500 and 375 miles (2,400 and 600 km) (1.6 BlueHDi Euro 6.1)

When switching on the ignition, the warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top up AdBlue: Start-up not possible in x miles") indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres. When driving, the message is displayed every 200 miles (300 km) until the level is topped up. The reserve level has been reached; it is recommended that you top up as soon as possible.

Dashboard instruments

Remaining range less than 375 miles (600 km) (1.6 BlueHDi Euro 6.1)

When switching on the ignition, this warning lamp flashes, accompanied by the permanent lighting of the service warning lamp, an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top up AdBlue: Start-up not possible in x miles") indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres. When driving, this message is displayed every 30 seconds until the AdBlue level has been topped up. It is essential to top up as soon as possible and before the tank is completely empty; otherwise it will not be possible to restart the engine after the next stop.

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue

When switching on the ignition, this warning lamp flashes, associated with an audible signal and the display of the message "Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible".
