Orange warning lights on the Peugeot 206 CC from 2004 explained: ABS, ESP/ASR, low fuel and air bag lamps, what each one means and what you should do.
Orange warning lamps on your dashboard tell you about a fault that needs looking at or something you need to deal with yourself. They are not usually as urgent as red lamps, but you should not ignore them.
This guide covers the Peugeot 206 CC, based on handbook edition ed01-04 for cars produced from 1 April 2004. Some lamps depend on the version, equipment or country, so your car may not have every lamp listed here.

| Warning | Urgency | In short |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light | Get it checked soon | ABS fault, normal braking still works |
| Dynamic Stability Control (ESP/ASR) Warning Light | Get it checked soon | ESP/ASR working, switched off or faulty |

| Front and Side Air Bags Warning Light | Get it checked soon | Fault in the air bags |
This is the warning lamp for the anti-lock brake system (ABS). It comes on for a few seconds each time you switch on the ignition, which is normal. If it stays on, or comes on when you are driving above 7 mph (12 km/h), there is a fault with the ABS. You still have conventional servo-assisted braking. If the lamp comes on with a warning sound and a message on the multi-function display, this also means there is a fault in the ABS system.
What to do:
This is the warning lamp for the dynamic stability control system (ESP/ASR). It comes on for a few seconds each time you switch on the ignition. With the engine running and the car moving, it comes on when the system is working to help you. It also comes on, together with a message on the multi-function display, when the system has been switched off.
What to do:
If the lamp stays on while the engine is running and the car is moving:
This lamp tells you that the fuel level is low. When it first comes on, you still have enough fuel to drive at least 30 miles (50 km). The fuel tank holds approximately 47 litres (10.3 gallons).
What to do:
This lamp is fitted according to country. When it comes on together with a message on the display, the passenger air bag is switched off. It stays on for as long as the passenger air bag remains switched off. If the lamp flashes, something is not right.
What to do:
If the lamp is on steadily:
If the lamp is flashing:
This is the warning lamp for the front and side air bags. It comes on for a few seconds when you switch on the ignition, which is normal. If it comes on while the engine is running, together with a warning sound and a message on the multi-function display, there is a fault in the air bags.
What to do:
If an orange lamp comes on and you are not sure what it means, stay calm, stop somewhere safe when you can and check your handbook. If the handbook advises it, or you are still unsure, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
