Green and blue warning lamps on the Peugeot 208 II (2023-2025) explained: what each status lamp means, from Stop & Start to main beam headlamps.
The green and blue lamps on your dashboard are indicator lamps: they show the operating status of a system or function rather than a fault. Some lamps can light up steadily or flash, and a lamp coming on may be accompanied by an audible signal or a message on a screen.
This guide covers the Peugeot 208 II (2023-2025), following the Peugeot handbook for vehicles produced from November 2023. Not every lamp appears on every car, as some depend on the version or equipment fitted.

If you are not sure what a lamp is telling you, look at whether it is steady or flashing and what the car is doing at the time, then check the section of your handbook for that system or function. Keep in mind that a red or orange warning lamp, unlike the green and blue ones here, may point to a fault that needs further investigation.
Green and blue lamps simply tell you what your Peugeot 208 is doing at that moment, so getting to know them helps you read the dashboard at a glance.
