Peugeot 3008 Indicators: Green and Blue Warnings (2024-2025)

What every green and blue indicator lamp means on the Peugeot 3008 III (2024-2025), from Stop & Start to AUTO HOLD, and what you need to do.

Green and blue lamps on your dashboard are indicator lamps rather than warnings. They tell you that a system or function is switched on or working, so in most cases they are simply confirming what the car is doing. Some of them light up steadily, some flash, and some come with a sound or a message on the screen.

This guide covers the Peugeot 3008 III (2024-2025) and applies to vehicles built from 2 September 2024. Not every lamp will appear on every car, because some depend on the version and equipment fitted to yours.

Stop & Start (Petrol)

Green stop start indicator

This is the Stop & Start indicator lamp on petrol models. It can light up steadily or flash for a short time, and each tells you something different about the system.

What to do:

If the lamp is on steadily:

  • The Stop & Start system has put the engine into STOP mode because the vehicle has stopped.
  • No action is needed: this is the system working normally.

If the lamp flashes for a short time:

  • STOP mode is temporarily unavailable, or START mode has been triggered automatically.
  • For more detail, see the Driving section of your handbook.

Vehicle ready to drive (Rechargeable hybrid or Electric)

Ready to drive indicator

This indicator lamp appears on rechargeable hybrid and electric versions. It comes on steadily, with a sound as it lights up, to tell you the vehicle is ready to drive. On electric vehicles it also means the thermal comfort systems are available.

What to do:

  • You can move off as normal.
  • The lamp goes out once you reach about 3 mph (5 km/h) and comes back on when the vehicle stops.
  • It goes out completely when you switch off the engine and get out of the vehicle.

Seat unoccupied/Seat belt not fastened

Seat unoccupied indicator

This seat belt indicator lamp comes on steadily with the ignition on. It means one of the front or rear passenger seats is considered to be unoccupied.

What to do:

  • If someone is sitting in that seat, make sure they fasten their seat belt.

Seat occupied/Seat belt fastened

Green seat belt warning light

This seat belt indicator lamp comes on steadily with the ignition on. It confirms that the driver or a passenger has fastened their seat belt.

What to do:

  • No action is needed: this simply confirms the seat belt is fastened.

Hill Assist Descent Control

Green hill start assist indicator

This is the Hill Assist Descent Control indicator lamp. It can light up steadily or flash, depending on whether the function is actually controlling your speed.

What to do:

If the lamp is on steadily:

  • The system is switched on, but the conditions for it to control your speed are not met, for example the gradient, a speed that is too high or the gear engaged.

If the lamp is flashing:

  • The function is controlling the vehicle's speed and the vehicle is being braked.
  • The brake lamps come on during the descent.

AUTO HOLD (Adaptive cruise control)

AUTO HOLD indicator

This AUTO HOLD indicator lamp is part of the adaptive cruise control. It comes on steadily with a message on the screen when the system has brought the vehicle to a complete stop and is holding it still.

What to do:

With an EAT6 automatic gearbox:

  • Press the accelerator to move off again.
  • Then switch the cruise control back on.

With an e-DCS6/7 automatic gearbox or drive selector:

  • Within 3 seconds of stopping, the vehicle gradually moves off again by itself.
  • After more than 3 seconds, press the accelerator to move off.
  • For more detail, see the Driving section of your handbook.

Direction indicators

This is the direction indicator lamp. It flashes, with a sound, to show that your indicators are on.

What to do:

  • Switch the indicators off once you have finished your manoeuvre.

Daytime running lamps/Sidelamps

Sidelamps indicator

This lamp comes on steadily to show which lights are in use. When there is enough daylight, the daytime running lamps are on. When there is not enough light, the sidelamps are on.

What to do:

  • No action is needed: this simply confirms which lamps are on.

Dipped beam headlamps

This is the dipped beam indicator lamp. It comes on steadily to show that the dipped beam headlamps are on.

Automatic headlamp dipping

Two indicator lamps can be shown for this function. They come on steadily when automatic headlamp dipping has been switched on through the touch screen and the ring on the lighting control stalk is set to AUTO.

What to do:

  • For more detail, see the Lighting and visibility section of your handbook.

Main beam headlamps

Blue main beam indicator

This is the main beam indicator lamp. It comes on steadily to show that the main beam headlamps are on.

What to do:

  • No action is needed: this simply confirms the main beam headlamps are on.

E-SAVE function (Rechargeable hybrid)

This indicator lamp appears on rechargeable hybrid versions. It comes on steadily, together with the electric range that has been reserved, to show that the E-SAVE function is activated.

What to do:

  • No action is needed: this confirms the E-SAVE function is on.

If You're Not Sure

If you are not sure what a lamp is telling you, think about what the car was doing at the time it came on, as this usually tells you whether everything is normal. For full details on any system, check the matching section of your handbook. If a red or orange lamp comes on instead, there may be a fault that needs looking into, so contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Green and blue lamps are there to keep you informed, not to worry you. Once you know what each one means, you will be able to tell at a glance which systems are working on your Peugeot 3008.
