Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel are mostly operation indicator lamps. When one comes on, it confirms that the matching system has started working, and you may also hear an audible signal. Depending on your instrument panel, you may also see a symbol and a message on the screens.

This guide covers the Peugeot 308 I CC (2008-present) and is based on handbook edition ed01-14, which applies to cars produced from 1 November 2013. Some lamps depend on your car's version or equipment, so you may not have every one listed here.

Green and blue lamps are usually just confirming that something you have switched on is working. Get to know them and you will spot quickly when one behaves differently, such as the directional headlamps lamp flashing to show a fault.
