What the green and blue warning lights on your Peugeot 208 II (2025-present) mean, from Stop & Start to automatic wiping, and what each one tells you.
Green and blue lights on your instrument panel are indicator lights. Rather than warning you about a fault, they tell you that a system is working or that a function has been switched on, so seeing one is usually nothing to worry about.
This guide covers the Peugeot 208 II (2025-present) and is based on handbook edition ed10-26, which applies to vehicles produced from 02/10/2026. Some of these lights only appear on certain versions or with certain equipment, so your car may not show every one listed here.
