What each orange warning lamp on the Peugeot 108 (2014-2015) means, from ABS and emission faults to low fuel, and what you should do next.
Orange lamps on your Peugeot 108 tell you that a system has been switched off, needs your attention or has a fault. Some simply confirm something you have chosen to do, such as switching off traction control. Others mean the car needs checking soon. Any fault that turns on a warning lamp should be looked into.
This guide covers the first-generation Peugeot 108 (2014-2015), based on the handbook for cars produced from 1 May 2014. Some lamps depend on the version or equipment of your car, so you may not see all of them.

This is the rear foglamp symbol, shown in orange. It stays on steadily when you have switched on the rear foglamp using the ring on the lighting control stalk.
What to do:
These lamps appear in the seat belt and passenger's front airbag display. One of the two always stays on, depending on whether the passenger's front airbag is activated or deactivated using the control switch in the glove box.
What to do:
If the airbag activated lamp stays on, the switch in the glove box is set to ON and the passenger's front airbag is active:
If the airbag deactivated lamp stays on, the switch in the glove box is set to OFF and the passenger's front airbag is switched off:
This is the traction control symbol, shown in orange. It stays on steadily after a brief press on the button, which means the traction control (TRC) system has been switched off.
What to do:
This is the dynamic stability control symbol, shown in orange. It stays on steadily when the button has been held for more than 3 seconds with the car stationary, which switches off both the traction control (TRC) and dynamic stability control (DSC) systems.
What to do:
This is the Stop & Start symbol, shown in orange. When it stays on steadily, the Stop & Start system has been switched off.
What to do:
This is the ABS symbol, shown in orange. When it stays on steadily, the anti-lock braking system has a fault. Your car still has conventional braking, but without the anti-lock function.
What to do:
This is the DSC/TRC symbol, shown in orange. It can flash or stay on steadily, and the two have very different meanings.
What to do:
If the lamp is flashing, the DSC/TRC system is working to help you:
If the lamp stays on steadily, the DSC/TRC system has a fault:
This is the emission control symbol, shown in orange. When it stays on steadily, the emission control system has a fault.
What to do:
This is the fuel pump symbol, shown in orange. When it first comes on, there are approximately 5 litres of fuel left in the tank, which holds approximately 35 litres in total. It will come on every time you switch on the ignition until you add enough fuel.
What to do:
This is the tyre pressure symbol, shown in orange. When it stays on steadily, the pressure in one or more of your tyres is too low.
What to do:
This is the Stop & Start symbol, shown in orange. When it flashes, the Stop & Start system has a fault.
What to do:
The handbook shows two speed limiter symbols for this lamp, both in orange. When the lamp stays on steadily, the speed limiter has a fault.
What to do:
This is the electronic key symbol, shown in orange. When it flashes and you hear an audible signal, the battery in your electronic key is flat.
What to do:
If a lamp comes on and you are not sure what it means, check whether it is steady or flashing and what the car is doing at the time, as that tells you whether things are normal or there is a fault. If you are still unsure, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Most orange lamps on the Peugeot 108 are either a reminder of something you have switched off or a sign that a system needs checking soon. Knowing which is which helps you deal with them calmly and keep your car in good shape.
