Green and blue warning lights on the Peugeot 3008 I (2014-2016) explained: indicators, headlamps, foglamps, parking sensors, Stop & Start and what to do.
Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel are mostly operation indicators. They confirm that a system is switched on and working, so in most cases there is nothing wrong. Some of them can also flash, and in one case flashing points to a fault, so it is worth knowing which is which.
This guide covers the first-generation Peugeot 3008 and is based on the handbook edition for vehicles produced from 1 September 2015. Some lamps depend on the version or equipment of your car, so you may not see all of them on yours.

Some lamps come on for a few seconds when you switch on the ignition and should go off once the engine has started.

If in doubt, ask a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
