Orange warning lamps on the Peugeot 1007 explained: what each one means and what to do, based on the handbook for cars built from April 2008.
When a warning lamp stays on or flashes while the engine is running, it means there is an operating fault in the system concerned. Some lamps also sound an audible signal and show a message on the multifunction display. This guide explains what each lamp means and what you should do.
It covers the first-generation Peugeot 1007 (2004-2010) and is based on handbook edition ed01-08, which applies to vehicles produced from 01/04/2008. Some lamps depend on your version or equipment, such as Diesel engines or the "2 Tronic" gearbox, so your car may not have every one listed here.

| WARNING LIGHTS WA A permanently lit warning light or one flashing, with the engine running, indicates an operating fault of the unit concerned. The illumination of certain warning lights may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction display. Do not ignore this warning: consult a PEUGEOT dealer | Get it checked soon | Lit or flashing lamp means a fault |
| If the central STOP warning light comes on when you are driving, stop your vehicle immediately, where it is safe to do so. Central STOP warning light | Stop safely, get help | Stop immediately where it is safe |
| Service warning light | Get it checked soon | Fault in a system without own lamp |
