Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel mostly tell you that a system is switched on or show its current status. A few of them, especially those linked to the traction battery and the electric system, can also ask you to do something or have the vehicle checked.

This guide covers the Peugeot Partner electric built from 1 March 2017 onwards. Some lamps depend on the version or equipment of your vehicle, so you may not see all of them.

Ready

Ready to drive indicator

This lamp shows the Ready symbol. It comes on with an audible signal and tells you the vehicle is ready to drive.

What to do:

  • Nothing, the lamp stays on while the vehicle is powered up.
  • You can now press the accelerator and use the air conditioning or heating.

Traction battery protection

Turtle mode warning light

This lamp shows the traction battery protection symbol. If it comes on with a regular audible signal, the traction battery's state of charge is critical. If it comes on without the audible signal, maximum engine power is not available.

What to do:

If the lamp is on with a regular audible signal:

  • Expect engine power to be reduced gradually while the battery level is critical.
  • Put the vehicle on charge.

If the lamp is on without the audible signal:

  • If the lamp does not go off, contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.

Traction battery charge

Charging cable indicator

This lamp shows the traction battery charge symbol. When it is on steadily, the traction battery is charging. When it flashes, the vehicle cannot be started because the charging cable is still connected to the vehicle's socket.

What to do:

If the lamp is on steadily:

  • Nothing, the lamp goes out once charging is complete.

If the lamp is flashing:

  • Check the charging cable connection.
  • Disconnect the charging cable from the vehicle.

Main electric system self-diagnostics

System fault warning light

This lamp shows the main electric system self-diagnostics symbol. When it comes on, a fault has been detected in the main electric system.

What to do:

  • Have the vehicle checked by a dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

Incident in the drive chain

System fault warning light

Two symbols are involved here: the drive chain symbol and the main electric system self-diagnostics symbol. When both come on together, there is an incident in the drive chain.

What to do:

  • Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
  • Have the vehicle checked by a dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

ECO

ECO mode indicator

This lamp shows the ECO symbol and relates to Stop & Start. When it is on steadily, Stop & Start has put the engine into STOP mode because the vehicle has stopped, for example at red lights, a stop sign or in a traffic jam. If it flashes for a few seconds and then goes off, STOP mode is temporarily unavailable or START mode has been triggered automatically.

What to do:

If the lamp is on steadily:

  • Nothing, as soon as you want to move off the lamp goes off and the engine restarts automatically in START mode.

If the lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off:

  • For more details, see the Stop & Start section of your handbook.

Left-hand direction indicator

Left turn signal indicator

This lamp shows the left-hand direction indicator symbol. It flashes with a buzzer when you signal a change of direction to the left using the lighting control stalk.

What to do:

  • To signal left, move the lighting control stalk down.

Right-hand direction indicator

Right turn signal indicator

This lamp shows the right-hand direction indicator symbol. It flashes with a buzzer when you signal a change of direction to the right using the lighting control stalk.

What to do:

  • To signal right, move the lighting control stalk up.

Front foglamps

Front fog lamp indicator

This lamp shows the front foglamps symbol. It stays on steadily when you have switched the front foglamps on manually.

What to do:

  • Remember the front foglamps only work when the sidelamps or dipped beam headlamps are on.

Dipped beam headlamps / daytime running lamps

Dipped beam indicator

This lamp shows the dipped beam headlamps symbol. It stays on steadily when the lamps have been switched on manually or have come on automatically.

What to do:

  • To switch on dipped beam manually, turn the ring on the lighting control stalk to the second position.

Main beam headlamps

Blue main beam indicator

This lamp shows the main beam headlamps symbol. It stays on steadily when you have pulled the lighting control stalk towards you to switch on main beam.

What to do:

  • To return to dipped beam headlamps, pull the lighting control stalk towards you.

If You're Not Sure

If a lamp comes on and you are not sure what it means, stay calm, stop somewhere safe if you need to and check the warning lamp section of your handbook. If the lamp is linked to the traction battery, the electric system or the drive chain and you are still unsure, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Most green and blue lamps on your Peugeot Partner electric simply confirm that something is switched on or working as it should. Get to know them and you will spot the few that ask you to act, such as charging the battery or having the vehicle checked.
