Orange warning lights on the Peugeot Landtrek (2020-present) explained: what each lamp means and what you should do, from AdBlue to tyre pressure.
Orange warning lamps on your Peugeot Landtrek tell you that something needs your attention. It may be a fault that should be checked, or a system that is working or has been switched off. Some orange lamps also come on for a few seconds when you switch on the ignition and should go off once the engine starts.
This guide covers the first-generation Peugeot Landtrek (2020-present), based on the handbook for vehicles produced from 1 September 2022. Some lamps depend on the version or equipment of your car, so you may not see every one listed here.

This is the orange Service warning lamp. It comes on with a message when the car detects one or more faults that do not have their own warning lamp. If it comes on only temporarily, the fault is minor. If it stays on, the fault is major.
What to do:
If the lamp comes on temporarily:
If the lamp stays on:
This orange lamp is the Diesel engine pre-heating indicator. It comes on for a short time when you switch on the ignition, if the weather and engine temperature mean the engine needs pre-heating. In severe weather it can stay on for up to about 30 seconds.
What to do:
This orange lamp is the low fuel warning. It stays on, with the reserve level shown in red, and when it first comes on you have about 11 litres of fuel left in the tank. Until you refuel, the alert repeats every time you switch on the ignition, more and more often as the tank gets closer to empty.
What to do:
This is the orange engine self-diagnostic warning lamp. If it flashes, the engine management system has a fault. If it stays on, the emissions control system has a fault.
What to do:
If the lamp is flashing:
If the lamp stays on:
On BlueHDi Diesel engines, this alert shows as the engine self-diagnostic lamp flashing while a second warning lamp stays on. A message also warns you that the particle filter risks becoming blocked. It means the particle filter is nearly saturated.
What to do:
Here the engine self-diagnostic lamp stays on together with a second lamp. If it comes on with the Service warning lamp, a minor engine fault has been detected, and on BlueHDi Diesel engines maintenance is needed. If it comes on with the other warning lamp shown here, a major engine fault has been detected.
What to do:
If it comes on with the Service warning lamp (minor fault):
If it comes on with the other warning lamp (major fault):
This orange lamp is the AdBlue® warning on BlueHDi Diesel engines. It comes on with a beep and a message telling you how much driving range is left before the AdBlue® runs out. The faster it flashes, the less range you have, and once it stays on the tank is empty and the engine will not start.
What to do:
If it flashes slowly and the range is between 1,500 and 500 miles (2,400 and 800 km):
If it flashes slowly and the range is between 500 and 62 miles (800 and 100 km):
If it flashes quickly and the range is less than 62 miles (100 km):
If it stays on and the message says starting is impossible:
On BlueHDi Diesel engines, the AdBlue® lamp stays on together with a second warning lamp, with a beep and a message. It means a malfunction of the SCR emissions control system has been detected. Depending on the message, you can drive for up to 685 miles (1,100 km) before the engine immobiliser stops the engine from restarting.
What to do:
If the message reports a malfunction:
If the message shows the remaining driving range:
If the message says starting is impossible:
This is the orange ABS warning lamp. If it stays on, the anti-lock braking system has a fault, although your car still has conventional braking.
What to do:
This orange lamp shows the status of rear differential locking. If it flashes, the system is switched on but the differential is not locked yet. If it stays on, the rear differential is locked.
What to do:
If the lamp is flashing:
If the lamp stays on:
This is the orange 4x4 transmission self-diagnostic lamp. If it stays on, the wheels are not receiving any drive power and the vehicle must be switched off.
What to do:
Two orange icons are used for the DSC/ASR system. The deactivation icon stays on when the system has been switched off. The second icon flashes while the system is working to correct a loss of grip or trajectory, and stays on if the system has a fault.
What to do:
If the deactivation icon is on:
If the second icon is flashing:
If the second icon stays on:
The hill start assist lamp stays on together with the Service warning lamp, and the message "Anti roll-back system fault" appears. It means the hill start assist system has a fault.
What to do:
This orange lamp is the overspeed alert. It stays on with a beep when your speed goes above 75 mph (120 km/h), depending on the country where the car was sold.
What to do:
This orange lamp shows the front passenger airbag status. If it stays on, the front passenger airbag is active and its control is set to "ON".
What to do:
This orange lamp shows that the front passenger airbag is switched off. If it stays on, the airbag is deactivated and its control is set to "OFF".
What to do:
This is the orange tyre under-inflation lamp. If it stays on with a beep and a message, the pressure in one or more tyres is too low. If it flashes and then stays on while the Service warning lamp is also on, the tyre pressure monitoring system is faulty.
What to do:
If only the under-inflation lamp is on:
If the under-inflation lamp flashes then stays on with the Service warning lamp:
This orange lamp is the rear foglamp indicator. It stays on while your rear foglamps are switched on.
What to do:
If an orange lamp comes on and you are not sure what it means, check the message on the instrument panel first. If the car does not feel right, stop somewhere safe, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for advice.
