Green and blue warning lamps on the Peugeot 508 I explained: what each indicator lamp means and what to do, from foglamps to main beam headlamps.
Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel are mostly indicator lamps. When one of them comes on, it simply confirms that the matching system has been switched on, such as your lights or your direction indicators. Some lamps can either stay on or flash, and the way a lamp lights up tells you whether everything is normal or whether there is a fault.
This guide covers the Peugeot 508 I and is based on the handbook for vehicles produced from 1 March 2017. Some lamps depend on the version or equipment of your car, so you may not see every one of them.
