Peugeot 308 III Indicators: Green and Blue Warnings (2025-present)

Green and blue lights on your dashboard are indicator lights. They show you that a system is working or has been switched on, rather than warning you about a fault. They are there for your information, so seeing one is usually nothing to worry about.

This guide covers the Peugeot 308 III (2025-present) and is based on handbook edition ed09-25, which applies to vehicles produced from 12/09/2025. Some lights only appear on certain versions or with certain equipment, such as the ICE, PHEV or BEV versions, so your car may not show every light listed here.

Quick Reference

Green warning/indicator lights Stop & Start (ICE)

This green Stop & Start symbol appears on ICE versions. It can light up steadily or flash briefly. When it is steady, the Stop & Start system has put the engine into STOP mode because the vehicle has stopped. When it flashes for a short time, STOP mode is temporarily unavailable or START mode has been triggered automatically.

What to do:

If the light is steady:

• No action is needed. The engine has gone into STOP mode because your vehicle has stopped.

If the light is flashing briefly:

• No action is needed. STOP mode is not available at the moment, or the engine is restarting automatically in START mode.

Vehicle ready to drive (PHEV or BEV)

This green "ready" indicator appears on PHEV and BEV versions. It stays on steadily and you will hear an audible signal when it comes on. It means your vehicle is ready to drive and the thermal comfort systems are available. Once you reach about 5 km/h (3 mph), the light goes out, and it comes back on when the vehicle stops moving.

What to do:

When the light comes on with an audible signal:

• Your vehicle is ready to drive, so you can set off when it is safe to do so.

When the light goes out and comes back on:

• It goes out once you pass about 5 km/h (3 mph) and comes back on when you stop. This is normal.
• It goes out for good once you switch off the motor and get out of the vehicle.

Seat occupied/Seat belt fastened

This green seat belt symbol lights up steadily. With the ignition on, it shows that the driver or a passenger has fastened their seat belt.

What to do:

• No action is needed. Just make sure everyone on board has fastened their seat belt before you set off.

Direction indicators

This green arrow symbol flashes and you will hear an audio signal at the same time. It shows that your direction indicators are on.

What to do:

• No action is needed. The light simply confirms that your direction indicators are on.

Daytime running lights/Sidelights

This green lighting symbol stays on steadily. When there is enough daylight, it means your daytime running lights are on. When there is not enough light, it means your sidelights are on.

What to do:

• No action is needed. The light shows which of these lights are on at the moment.

Dipped beam headlights

This green headlight symbol stays on steadily. It shows that your dipped beam headlights are on.

What to do:

• No action is needed. The light confirms that your dipped beam headlights are on.

Automatic headlight dipping

This green headlight symbol stays on steadily and relates to the automatic headlight dipping function. The handbook's list of lights does not give any further detail, so check the handbook section on this function for more information.

What to do:

• No specific action is given for this light. See the handbook section on automatic headlight dipping for more details.

Blue warning/indicator lights Main beam headlights

This blue headlight symbol stays on steadily. It shows that your main beam (high beam) headlights are on.

What to do:

• No action is needed. The light confirms that your main beam headlights are on.

E-SAVE function (PHEV)

This E-SAVE symbol appears on PHEV versions. It stays on steadily alongside the BEV range you have reserved, and shows that the E-SAVE function is activated.

What to do:

• No action is needed. The light confirms that E-SAVE is on and shows the BEV range you have reserved.

If You're Not Sure

If you are not sure what a light means, check the matching section of your handbook for more information on that system or function. Green and blue lights are for information only. If a red or orange warning light comes on and stays on, there may be a fault that needs further investigation.

Green and blue lights are there to keep you informed about what your Peugeot 308 is doing. Once you know what each one means, you can tell at a glance that everything is working as it should.
