2. Check for Airbag Faults:
   • Ensure there are no other airbag-related warning lights on the dashboard, which could indicate a fault with the airbag system.
   • If there is an Airbags warning lamp on, do not install a child seat and have the vehicle inspected by a PEUGEOT Authorized Dealer or Authorized Service to address the airbag fault.
3. Verify Airbag Control Setting:
   • Confirm that the airbag control is correctly set to the “OFF” position if you need to place a child seat in the front.
   • If you need to activate the airbag (for example, if an adult will occupy the front passenger seat), refer to your vehicle’s manual on how to safely change the airbag setting.

Under-Inflation

What Does Peugeot 2008 Under-Inflation Warning Mean?

Fixed Under-Inflation Warning Light

A fixed under-inflation warning light indicates that the pressure in one or more tyres is too low. This needs to be addressed promptly to ensure safe driving and optimal vehicle performance.

Flashing Under-Inflation Warning Light Followed by Fixed Light with Service Warning Lamp Fixed

A flashing under-inflation warning light followed by a fixed light, along with a fixed Service warning lamp, indicates that the tyre pressure monitoring system is faulty. This means that the system is no longer monitoring tyre pressures.

What Should I Do If the Under-Inflation Warning Light Comes On in My Peugeot 2008?

If the Under-Inflation Warning Light is Fixed:

1. As soon as possible, check the pressure of all tyres using a reliable tyre pressure gauge. Compare the readings with the recommended tyre pressures specified in your vehicle’s manual or on the placard located on the driver’s door frame.
2. Inflate any under-inflated tyres to the correct pressure. Ensure all tyres are properly inflated to maintain vehicle safety and performance.
3. After adjusting the tyre pressures, reinitialise the tyre pressure monitoring system. This process can usually be done through the vehicle’s settings menu. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for specific instructions on how to reinitialise the system.

If the Under-Inflation Warning Light is Flashing then Fixed with Service Warning Lamp Fixed:

Even though the monitoring system is faulty, manually check the pressure of all tyres as soon as possible using a reliable tyre pressure gauge. Ensure they are inflated to the recommended levels.

1. Take your vehicle to a PEUGEOT Authorized Dealer or Authorized Service for a thorough inspection and repair of the tyre pressure monitoring system. Ensuring this system functions correctly is crucial for maintaining safety and tyre health.

What Does Peugeot 2008 Stop & Start System Warning Mean? (Petrol or Diesel)

Fixed Warning Light with a Message: System Deactivated Manually

A fixed warning light accompanied by a message indicates that the Stop & Start system has been manually deactivated. This means the engine will not switch off automatically at the next traffic stop.

Fixed Warning Light: System Deactivated Automatically

A fixed warning light without a specific message means that the Stop & Start system has been automatically deactivated. The engine will not switch off at the next traffic stop if the exterior temperature is below 0°C or above +35°C. This is a protective measure to ensure optimal engine performance in extreme temperatures.

If you prefer the Stop & Start system to be active, check your vehicle’s settings to reactivate it. This can usually be done via the touch screen or vehicle control settings.

If the System is Deactivated Automatically:

1. The Stop & Start system deactivation is a normal response to extreme exterior temperatures (below 0°C or above +35°C). The system will reactivate automatically when temperatures return to a more moderate range.
2. No action is needed unless the exterior temperature is no longer extreme and the system remains deactivated. If this occurs, further investigation might be necessary.

If the System has a Fault (Flashing Then Fixed Warning Light):

1. While the Stop & Start system is not critical for vehicle operation, drive with caution and be aware that the engine will not switch off automatically at stops.
2. Consult a PEUGEOT Authorized Dealer or Authorized Service for a thorough inspection and repair of the Stop & Start system. Prompt attention to this warning ensures the system operates correctly and enhances fuel efficiency.

By following these steps, you can ensure the Stop & Start system in your Peugeot 2008 functions correctly, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
