Orange warning lights on the Peugeot 206 CC (2001-2002) explained: what each lamp means, from ABS and engine faults to low fuel and air bags.
Orange warning lamps on your dashboard tell you that something needs your attention. Some point to a fault that should be checked, while others simply let you know about the status of a system.
This guide covers the Peugeot 206 CC from the 2001 to 2002 period, based on handbook edition ed02-01 for vehicles produced from 1 December 2001. Some lamps are only fitted on certain versions or depend on your car's equipment, so you may not see every one of them on your dashboard.
