Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel are operation indicator lamps. When one comes on, it confirms that the matching system or function has been switched on. They are not fault warnings, but they tell you what the car is doing.

This guide covers the Peugeot 3008 I (2016-present) and is based on handbook edition ed01-16, which applies to vehicles produced from 01/09/2016. Some of these lamps only appear on certain versions or with certain equipment, so your car may not show all of them.
