Green and blue lights on the Peugeot 206 SW from April 2004: what the coolant and oil temperature indicators show and what to do when they read high.
Green and blue lights on your dashboard are usually there to give you information rather than to warn you about a fault. This guide covers the Peugeot 206 SW, based on handbook edition ed01-04, which applies to vehicles produced from 1 April 2004.
The handbook chapter this guide is based on doesn't state lamp colours, so this guide covers the information displays from that chapter that show a status rather than a fault: the coolant and engine oil temperature indicators. Some displays depend on the version or equipment of your car, so yours may not have every one.

If you're not sure what a light or gauge on your 206 SW is telling you, check the handbook for your car. If a warning appears alongside it, stop somewhere safe and contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Most of the time, these displays simply confirm that things are as they should be. Keep an eye on them, especially in heavy traffic or on long drives, and you'll spot a rising temperature early.
