PEUGEOT Warning Lights

It's vital to know what a warning light means when it pops up on your dashboard. Whether it's red, amber, or green, you need to know what your car is trying to tell you so that you can get any problems fixed. If you're the owner of a PEUGEOT vehicle, there are some important symbols that you should be able to recognise so that you can solve the issue.

Red warning lights indicate issues that should be addressed ASAP, although they are not necessarily a serious fault. For example, they include seat belts and door open symbols. Amber warning lights indicate a problem that needs to be corrected but not urgently, while green lights are usually simple indicators.

If the oil pressure/level light is red, you should pull over as soon as it is safe to do so and turn off your engine.

Brake warning light

A brake warning light might indicate an issue with the braking system or parking brake. This could be due to several issues, including the brake fluid level being too low, a fault in the braking system, or the parking brake being applied or not properly released.
