Green and blue warning lights on the Peugeot 508 II (2023-present) explained: what each lamp means, how it lights up and what to do when you see it.
Green and blue lamps on your dashboard are mostly good news. Rather than warning you about a fault, they usually confirm that a system or function is switched on and working. Some can light up in more than one way, for example steady or flashing, and may come with a message on the screen or an audible signal.
This guide covers the Peugeot 508 II from 2023 onwards, based on the handbook edition for vehicles produced from 1 March 2023. Not every car will show every lamp listed here, as some depend on the version or equipment fitted to your vehicle.
