Peugeot 308 I SW Indicators: Green and Blue Warnings (2008-present)

Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel are operation indicator lamps. When one comes on, it confirms that the matching system is working, and you may also hear an audible signal. Depending on your instrument panel, you may also see a pictogram or a message on the screen.

This guide covers the Peugeot 308 I SW (2008-present) and is based on the handbook for vehicles produced from 1 July 2012. Some lamps depend on the version and equipment of your car, so you may not have all of them.
