In the event of a fault, the illumination of the 
warning lamp may be accompanied by an 
audible signal and/or a message.

being driven, illumination of one of the following

using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Operation indicator lamps

The lighting of one of the following indicator 
lamps confirms that the corresponding system 
is on.
