What every green and blue warning lamp on the Peugeot 208 I (2012-2015) means, from indicators and headlamps to Stop & Start and automatic wiping.
Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel are operation indicator lamps. When one comes on, it simply confirms that the system concerned is working. They are not fault warnings, and most just show you how you have set a control.
This guide covers the Peugeot 208 I (2012-2015), based on handbook edition ed01-14 for vehicles produced from 1 May 2014. Some lamps depend on the version or equipment of your car, so you may not see all of them.
