Nissan Qashqai Dashboard Warning Lights

Nissan Qashqai dashboard warning lights tell us whether a system is operating normally, needs attention, or requires a safe stop. The best starting point is to identify the symbol, check its colour, and read the message in the instrument display. A warning light tells us which system needs attention; it rarely identifies the exact failed part.

In this guide, we explain 40 warning lights and indicator types with a small illustration beside each meaning. We cover core engine, brake, tyre, and safety warnings, then the assistance features and e-POWER indicators that can make a newer Qashqai dashboard look unfamiliar.

Model coverage: illustrations and detailed examples are based on Nissan’s 2024 J12 Qashqai and Qashqai e-POWER manuals. Many core symbols are shared with earlier J10 and J11 cars, but equipment, colours, messages, and procedures vary by year and market. This is not an exhaustive symbol list for every Qashqai. Earlier diesel and other version-specific warnings require the matching owner’s manual. The official manual illustrations are monochrome; check the actual colour on your dashboard.

What Do Nissan Qashqai Warning Light Colours Mean?

Colour helps us assess a warning quickly, but the written instruction is more specific. An amber warning can still demand a stop when accompanied by an urgent message.

Why Do Several Lights Come On When We Start the Car?

Many lights illuminate briefly when the ignition or power switch is turned on. This starting check is expected. Some go out after a short interval; others change when the engine starts, the parking brake is released, or the e-POWER system reaches READY.

The useful question is what remains illuminated afterwards. We should investigate a light that stays on unexpectedly, appears during a journey, or fails to perform the check described in the handbook. Before driving, also check the display for a message that could be hidden behind another notification.

Core Safety and Urgent Warning Lights

1. Engine Oil Pressure Warning

Red · Stop safely and switch off the engine.

The oil-can symbol concerns oil pressure, not simply the amount of oil in the sump. If it stays on or flashes while the engine is running, we should pull over safely, stop the engine immediately, and arrange assistance.

Checking the dipstick can reveal a low level, but a normal reading does not prove that lubrication pressure is adequate. Do not keep restarting the engine to see whether the light disappears, and do not treat this as an oil-change reminder.

2. Brake System Warning

Red · Stop safely and investigate a braking-system warning.

An exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets can indicate low brake fluid or a braking fault. If it appears during driving, stop safely and contact a qualified workshop. On older versions, check the handbook for any parking-brake-related use of this light.

A fluid level below MIN, an unusually soft pedal, or increased stopping distance means we should not continue driving. Adding fluid without finding the reason for the loss does not repair the underlying problem. Recovery is the appropriate option when braking safety is uncertain.

3. Battery and Charging Warning

Charging-system warning · Find a safe place to stop.

The battery-shaped light can illuminate before the engine starts as part of the normal check. If it appears while a conventional Qashqai engine is running, the charging system may not be supplying power correctly.

Stop safely and switch off. On applicable engines, Nissan identifies a loose, broken, or missing alternator belt as a reason not to continue. We should arrange diagnosis rather than assume that fitting a new battery will fix the fault. An e-POWER charging warning must be interpreted using its own manual and display message.

4. Electric Power Steering Warning

Steering wheel with an exclamation mark · Assistance may be lost.

If this light stays on with the engine running, steering assistance may be unavailable. The wheel can become noticeably harder to turn, especially at low speed, even though the mechanical steering connection remains.

Keep both hands on the wheel, reduce speed carefully, and find a safe stopping place. Have the system inspected. If we cannot manoeuvre safely, arrange recovery instead of attempting a journey to the workshop. Avoid turning the ignition off while the vehicle is still moving.

5. Electric Parking Brake Fault

Amber brake symbol with a tool · Parking-brake system needs inspection.

On the conventional J12 Qashqai, this warning identifies a possible electric parking-brake malfunction. It is different from the normal red P indication that confirms the parking brake is applied.

Read the display before trying to move or leave the car. If the brake will not release, do not accelerate against it. If it will not apply, do not assume the vehicle is secured. This same illustration has a broader brake-system meaning on e-POWER models, explained later in this guide.

6. Seat Belt Warning

Red occupant-and-belt symbol · Check every occupied seat.

The seat belt warning reminds us to buckle up. Depending on the model, the display can identify the relevant seating position or show the status of rear passengers. A warning can also appear if a passenger unfastens a belt during the journey.

Check the actual occupants and belt buckles before assuming a sensor fault. Heavy items on a seat may affect occupant detection on some versions. Secure luggage properly, and never use a buckle insert to silence the reminder.

7. SRS Airbag Warning

Occupant with an airbag · Restraint-system inspection required.

This warning relates to the supplemental restraint system, which includes airbags and associated seat belt pretensioners. Nissan describes a short illumination during the starting check; a light that remains on, flashes, or fails its expected check needs attention.

We cannot tell from the symbol alone which component is at fault. Arrange prompt diagnosis because some restraint functions may not work correctly in a collision. Avoid disconnecting under-seat wiring or attempting an improvised reset. The passenger-airbag OFF status lamp is a separate indication.

8. Master Warning Triangle

Triangle with an exclamation mark · Read the accompanying message.

The master warning light is a pointer to another condition, rather than a diagnosis by itself. On the Qashqai it can accompany door or boot warnings, tyre-pressure alerts, key problems, parking-brake messages, and driving-aid faults.

We should identify the exact text before deciding what to do. A door left open needs a different response from a system fault or an instruction to stop. Photograph the message only after parking safely; recording the wording helps a workshop understand what happened.

Engine, Tyre, and Stability Warning Lights

9. Check Engine or Malfunction Indicator Light

Amber engine outline · The display message determines the next step.

The engine-management light can indicate a control-system fault or misfire. A steady amber light is not automatically permission to continue: the 2024 conventional Qashqai manual distinguishes between different accompanying engine-malfunction messages.

For the message “Engine malfunction Power reduced Service now”, Nissan instructs the driver to stop the engine and have the vehicle transported for inspection. Other messages have different restrictions. We should follow the matching handbook, avoid heavy acceleration, and stop safely if the engine shakes, power drops severely, or urgent warnings appear.

10. ABS Warning Light

Amber ABS · Anti-lock assistance may be unavailable.

The ABS warning should go out after its normal starting check. If it remains illuminated while driving, the anti-lock braking function may have a fault. Normal braking can remain available when ABS alone has failed, but wheel-lock prevention may not work.

Allow more space, avoid abrupt braking, and arrange inspection. If the red brake warning is also on or the pedal feels abnormal, stop safely and obtain assistance. We should not assume that every combination of brake warnings has the same level of urgency.

11. Low Tyre Pressure and TPMS Warning

Tyre-shaped outline with an exclamation mark · Check all four tyres.

A steady low-pressure warning calls for a safe stop, a visual inspection, and pressure checks with a gauge. Use the recommended cold pressures on the vehicle’s tyre placard, taking account of the specified load condition.

On the referenced J12 system, flashing for approximately one minute followed by a steady light indicates a TPMS malfunction. Inflation and system faults are different issues. Follow the model-specific reset or relearn procedure after correcting the cause; do not reset the system to hide a puncture or keep driving on a visibly damaged tyre.

12. SLIP or Traction-Control Indicator

Skidding-car symbol · Flashing and steady illumination mean different things.

A blinking SLIP light normally means the Electronic Stability Programme is intervening because the tyres are approaching their traction limits. We may notice engine-power adjustment or braking intervention. Ease off and adapt speed to the road surface.

A light that stays on with the system enabled can indicate a fault or fail-safe operation. Arrange a check and avoid assuming that stability assistance remains fully available. The symbol cannot compensate for unsuitable tyres, excessive speed, or standing water.

13. ESP OFF Indicator

Skidding car with OFF · Stability control has been disabled.

This indicator shows that the Electronic Stability Programme is switched off. We should check the selected settings and restore the system for normal driving, following the owner’s manual.

On the referenced J12 Qashqai, disabling ESP also makes Intelligent Emergency Braking unavailable. That can explain why two indicators appear together without proving that two components have failed. If the lights remain after the appropriate settings are restored, read the messages and have the vehicle checked.

14. Low Fuel Warning

Fuel-pump symbol · Refuel promptly.

The low-fuel light means the fuel level has reached the reserve range. Find a suitable filling station soon. The distance-to-empty figure is an estimate, so we should not use it as a guarantee of how far the vehicle can travel.

Nissan Qashqai Engine Oil Guide: Specs, Choices & Maintenance Tips

An e-POWER Qashqai also needs petrol: its electric drive does not make an empty fuel tank harmless. Check the correct fuel specification for your particular engine, especially when moving between older diesel Qashqais and newer petrol versions.

15. Electric Shift Control Warning

Gear-shaped warning · Electronic gear selection needs attention.

This warning can indicate a malfunction in the electric shift control system on equipped versions. The display may instruct the driver to apply the parking brake, and a warning chime can continue after switching off.

We should follow the parking instruction and verify that the car is secured before getting out. Do not assume that the requested gear or Park position has engaged correctly. Arrange inspection, and avoid forcing the selector or following an unrelated transmission-reset procedure found online.

Driver-Assistance Warnings and Symbols

16. Intelligent Emergency Braking Warning

Collision symbol with OFF · Emergency braking is off or unavailable.

This light can appear because Intelligent Emergency Braking has been switched off. If the system is selected on but the light remains, it may be temporarily unavailable or require investigation. Read the display for the actual reason.

We must continue controlling speed and braking ourselves. Where the message identifies a blocked sensor, check the relevant area safely and follow the cleaning guidance. Turning ESP off can also disable IEB on the referenced model, so inspect the settings before assuming a failed radar.

17. Vehicle Ahead Detected Symbol

Vehicle-detection graphic · Interpret it with the surrounding display.

The vehicle-ahead graphic is associated with the forward detection and emergency-braking display. Its exact presentation depends on the instrument cluster and the operating situation. It should not be confused with the separate IEB OFF warning.

If it appears with an urgent visual or audible collision alert, respond to traffic immediately and brake when necessary. We should never wait for automatic braking to act. A detection symbol also does not confirm that every obstacle or road user is being recognised.

18. Blind Spot Warning Symbol

Cars beside each other · Check the BSW status and surroundings.

Blind Spot Warning uses indicators to help alert the driver to vehicles alongside. The location and behaviour of its warnings vary with equipment; a dashboard status or fault indication is different from an alert in a door mirror.

Use mirrors and a direct shoulder check before changing lanes. If the display reports that BSW is unavailable or faulty, do not rely on it until the cause is resolved. We should interpret the symbol together with the message rather than assume every appearance means a vehicle is present.

19. Emergency Lane Assist Warning

Car between lane markings · Read the lane-assistance message.

On equipped newer Qashqais, the Emergency Lane Assist symbol relates to the system that monitors lane departure and can provide assistance in defined situations. Its appearance and supporting message distinguish the current condition.

Keep steering actively and check road markings and visibility. Poor lane markings or conditions outside the system’s operating range can affect assistance. If a malfunction message persists, arrange diagnosis. We should never treat a lane graphic as confirmation that the vehicle can steer itself safely.

20. Emergency Lane Assist OFF

Lane symbol with OFF · This assistance function is switched off.

The OFF version identifies the disabled state of Emergency Lane Assist on applicable models. Check the relevant driver-assistance menu if the state is unexpected, and use the handbook for the exact setting and operating conditions.

We remain responsible for maintaining our lane whether the function is enabled or disabled. An OFF indicator and a system-fault message are not interchangeable. If the function cannot be enabled or another warning appears, investigate the message instead of repeatedly changing settings while driving.

21. Rear Automatic Braking Warning

Rear-collision graphic · Check the RAB message.

Rear Automatic Braking assists with certain reversing situations on equipped vehicles. A warning involving this system needs to be interpreted alongside the instrument display, because an intervention alert and an unavailable-system message require different responses.

Stop reversing when an obstacle warning appears and check the area directly. If the system reports a fault, arrange inspection and manoeuvre without relying on automatic braking. We should also keep the relevant sensors clear using the cleaning instructions in the handbook.

22. Rear Automatic Braking OFF

Rear-collision symbol with OFF · RAB is disabled or unavailable.

The OFF version indicates that Rear Automatic Braking assistance is not available in its normal active state. Review the displayed explanation and the system setting; do not assume that every OFF indication means a broken component.

Use the mirrors, camera, and direct observation when reversing, remembering that each has blind spots. If the system remains unavailable unexpectedly after the stated condition is resolved, have it checked. Automatic braking is an additional aid, not a substitute for looking behind the car.

23. Hands OFF Steering Warning

Hands and steering wheel · Resume proper steering-wheel control.

This warning means the steering-assistance system has not detected the expected steering-wheel operation. Keep your hands correctly positioned on the wheel and actively control the vehicle. The Qashqai’s assistance functions require an attentive driver.

The response to an ignored warning differs between ProPILOT-equipped and other versions. We should not test that escalation or use a device to defeat hands-on monitoring. If the warning continues despite normal steering input, stop safely and arrange a system check.

24. Intelligent Driver Alertness Indicator

Coffee-cup symbol · A driver alert or a system fault, depending on colour.

In the referenced newer Qashqai manual, a white driver-alertness indication relates to the system operating, while yellow or orange identifies a malfunction. Read the message instead of treating every coffee-cup symbol as the same event.

If the car suggests a break, find a safe place to rest. We should also stop when we feel tired even if no warning appears. A fault in this assistance feature needs inspection, but repairing it cannot replace sleep or sensible breaks on a long journey.

25. Traffic Sign Recognition OFF or Fault

Traffic-sign symbol with OFF · Colour distinguishes status from malfunction.

On the referenced J12 version, a white TSR OFF indication means Traffic Sign Recognition is switched off. A yellow indication can mean a system malfunction. The same basic illustration can therefore communicate different conditions.

Check the display text and actual road signs. We should not rely solely on a recognised speed limit, especially around temporary restrictions or changes in road layout. If the fault remains, have the system checked; switching it off only removes the assistance, not the underlying issue.

26. Traffic Sign Recognition Mute

Crossed-out speaker · The TSR audible alert is muted.

This symbol indicates that the audible alert associated with Traffic Sign Recognition has been switched off. It does not, by itself, identify a failure of the whole sign-recognition system.

If we want the sound restored, use the relevant setting while safely parked. Continue checking posted limits and driving appropriately. Muting an alert changes how the vehicle informs us; it does not change the applicable speed limit or confirm that every displayed sign is accurate.

Normal Operating and Lighting Indicators

27. Parking Brake Applied Indicator

Red P in a circle · The electric parking brake is applied.

A steady parking-brake indication is expected when the brake is engaged. Confirm that it has released and the indicator has gone out before driving away. Follow the model’s normal release procedure.

If the indicator flashes, or appears together with the yellow parking-brake fault light, the system may need attention. We should read any instruction to press the brake pedal or release the parking brake. Do not confuse a normal applied-brake indication with a persistent braking fault.

28. Automatic Brake Hold Indicator

A HOLD symbol · White means standby; green means holding.

The white Automatic Brake Hold indication shows that the feature is on standby. Green means it is operating to hold the stationary vehicle. That distinction matters before we take our foot off the brake.

Brake Hold is not the same thing as securing a parked car. Use the prescribed parking procedure before leaving the driver’s seat. If the function is unavailable or releases unexpectedly, keep control with the brake pedal and follow the message rather than relying on the symbol alone.

29. Stop/Start Indicator

AUTO with a circular arrow · Engine stopped by Stop/Start control.

On applicable petrol versions, this indicator can show that the engine has stopped automatically under Stop/Start control. That is a normal operating state when the conditions for the feature are met.

The referenced manual also describes blinking as a possible malfunction indication. We should distinguish a fault message from the system simply deciding not to stop the engine. The e-POWER system has its own operating behaviour and READY display, so conventional Stop/Start advice should not be applied indiscriminately to it.

30. High Beam Indicator

Blue headlamp with straight beams · Main beam is on.

This indicator normally confirms high-beam operation rather than a fault. On applicable adaptive-lighting versions, it can also appear during the operation described in the lighting section of the handbook.

Check the road and other traffic, and dip the lights when necessary. We should not assume that automatic lighting will handle every situation perfectly. If the blue light stays on unexpectedly, review the stalk position and high-beam assistance settings while keeping control of the vehicle.

31. Dipped Beam Indicator

Headlamp with downward beams · Dipped headlights are on.

The dipped-beam indicator confirms operation of the low-beam headlights on equipped versions. It may appear after manual selection or when the automatic lighting system turns the headlights on in dark conditions.

This is normally a useful status indication. We should still check the actual lighting needed for the weather and road, because daytime running lights are not the same as a complete night-time lighting setup. A separate lighting fault message deserves its own investigation.

32. High Beam Assist Indicator

Headlamp containing A · Automatic high-beam assistance is enabled.

This symbol identifies the high-beam assistance or related adaptive function on equipped models. It is different from the plain blue main-beam indicator, which tells us about the lighting currently in use.

The exact conditions depend on the installed headlight system. Keep the camera area clear as instructed, and override the lighting when necessary to avoid dazzling other road users. We should check the accompanying message if assistance becomes unavailable rather than assume the headlamp bulbs themselves have failed.

33. Rear Fog Light Indicator

Fog-lamp symbol · Rear fog light is switched on.

The rear fog indicator confirms that the bright rear fog light is operating. It is usually an amber status light, rather than a warning about a damaged lamp.

Use the rear fog light when the conditions and local rules require it, and switch it off when visibility improves. We should avoid leaving it on simply because it is raining lightly; its brightness can be uncomfortable for drivers following closely. The dashboard indicator helps us remember that it is still selected.

34. Turn Signal and Hazard Indicators

Flashing arrows · Direction indicators or hazard lights are operating.

One flashing direction indicator normally confirms a turn signal. Both arrows flashing together normally indicate the hazard-warning function. Their ordinary flashing operation is expected and does not identify a fault.

Check that the turn signal cancels after a manoeuvre and that it matches the direction intended. If operation changes unexpectedly or an exterior lamp fails to work, inspect the lighting. We should use hazard lights appropriately without assuming that they make an unsafe stopping position safe.

Nissan Qashqai e-POWER Warning Lights and Indicators

35. e-POWER System Warning

Car with an exclamation mark · Stop safely and contact Nissan.

This warning is specific to the e-POWER drivetrain. A short starting check is normal, but illumination during driving can indicate a malfunction in the e-POWER system.

Nissan’s referenced manual instructs the driver to stop in a safe place immediately and contact a Nissan dealer. We should not treat this as an ordinary low-battery reminder or attempt to access high-voltage components. Record the accompanying message once stopped and arrange professional assistance.

36. READY to Drive Indicator

READY · The e-POWER system is active and the car can move.

A steady READY indication means the e-POWER system is powered and the vehicle can be driven. The petrol engine does not need to be audibly running for the car to be ready to move.

We should check READY when assessing whether the vehicle has started successfully, rather than listening for engine noise alone. Before leaving the car, use the proper shutdown and parking procedure. Silence is not proof that the drive system is off, especially when another person is near the vehicle.

37. e-POWER Power Limitation Indicator

Turtle symbol · Available drive power is reduced.

The turtle warning means the drive system is limiting available power. Nissan lists causes including very low battery charge, extreme battery temperature, high system temperature, and limited generator output. The display message helps identify the required response.

Allow for reduced acceleration and avoid attempting an overtake. If we cannot maintain a safe speed, pull over safely. Follow the stated instructions; a warning that does not clear or has no explained cause requires professional attention. This is not simply an economy-driving badge.

38. e-POWER Brake System Warning

Yellow brake-and-tool symbol · Regenerative or electronic braking fault.

On e-POWER, this warning can concern the cooperative regenerative braking system or the electronically driven intelligent brake system. Its meaning is broader than the conventional Qashqai electric parking-brake warning shown earlier.

Arrange prompt inspection and be alert to altered braking response. If the red brake warning also illuminates, Nissan instructs the driver to stop immediately and contact a workshop. We should not continue with abnormal pedal feel or insufficient braking, and should arrange recovery when safe braking cannot be assured.

39. Pedestrian Sound System Warning

Vehicle and sound symbol with OFF · VSP system needs checking.

The Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians system helps make the e-POWER vehicle noticeable. Although the warning illustration includes OFF, the referenced e-POWER manual identifies its illumination as a possible malfunction requiring inspection.

Be especially attentive around pedestrians, cyclists, and car parks where the vehicle may otherwise be quiet. We should not assume people can hear us approaching. Have the system checked rather than dismissing this as a harmless sound preference.

40. e-Pedal Step Indicator

e-Pedal · Shows the selected e-Pedal Step status.

The e-Pedal Step indicator shows whether the feature is selected. In the referenced manual, the active indication is blue, while the off state is grey and displays OFF. A normal selection indicator does not mean that the drive system has a fault.

We should remain ready to use the brake pedal whenever necessary. Learn the behaviour and limitations in the matching e-POWER handbook before using the feature in traffic. If a separate malfunction message appears, treat that message as a fault rather than a routine change of mode.

Illustrations and technical references: Nissan Qashqai owner’s manual: warning and indicator lights and Nissan Qashqai e-POWER owner’s manual, including their linked explanations for each symbol. Monochrome illustrations identify symbol shapes; colours and equipment depend on the vehicle.

What Should We Do When a Warning Appears While Driving?

1. Keep control of the vehicle. Check traffic, reduce speed smoothly where appropriate, and avoid sudden steering or braking.
2. Identify the symbol and message. A triangle alone is not a diagnosis. Read the instruction when it is safe, and pull over before taking a photograph or searching for guidance.
3. Respond to urgent faults first. Oil-pressure, braking, severe engine, and e-POWER stop instructions take priority over minor convenience warnings.
4. Check only what is safe to inspect. Tyre condition and a properly performed fluid-level check can be useful. Never remove a hot cooling-system pressure cap or touch high-voltage equipment.
5. Arrange the appropriate help. If braking, steering, or the ability to maintain a safe speed is affected, recovery may be needed. Do not restart or continue simply because the warning temporarily disappears.

Can We Reset Nissan Qashqai Dashboard Warning Lights?

There is no single reset that repairs every warning. A tyre-pressure system may need a prescribed reset after pressures are corrected; a maintenance reminder follows its own procedure after servicing. A fault warning needs its cause identified and resolved.

We should avoid disconnecting the battery or clearing diagnostic codes as a first response. That can remove useful evidence without correcting the problem. Save the exact message and describe when it appeared: after starting, during braking, on a wet road, or after a battery or tyre change.

Why several warnings can appear together

Different functions can depend on shared components or settings. For example, the referenced Qashqai manual explains that switching off ESP also makes Intelligent Emergency Braking unavailable. Several lights therefore do not automatically prove that several unrelated parts have failed.

Equally, we should not assume that a cluster of warnings is only a battery problem. The correct approach is to read the messages, inspect the relevant systems, and use suitable diagnostic equipment. A basic engine-code reader may not provide the information needed for braking, airbag, or assistance-system faults.

J10, J11, J12, and e-POWER: Use the Correct Manual

The Qashqai name covers different generations and powertrains. A symbol shared across two cars does not guarantee the same display wording or procedure. Before following reset instructions or deciding whether to continue driving, match the manual to the vehicle’s model year, engine, transmission, and market.

This matters particularly when comparing an earlier diesel with an e-POWER model. Diesel emissions and starting instructions should not be transferred to a newer electrified petrol drivetrain, and an e-POWER READY indication has no equivalent role in a conventional engine-only starting check.

Final Thoughts

Understanding Nissan Qashqai dashboard warning lights becomes easier when we separate the symbol’s shape, its colour, and the accompanying message. A normal status indicator tells us what is switched on; a fault warning tells us where attention is needed.

Use the illustrations to recognise the light, then follow the instruction for your exact Qashqai. Responding early to an urgent warning and diagnosing the actual cause is more useful than trying to make the dashboard go dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the yellow triangle mean on a Nissan Qashqai?

It is the master warning light. It draws attention to a message in the vehicle information display, which could concern a door, tyre pressure, key recognition, or a system fault. We need the accompanying text to identify the cause and appropriate action.

2. Can we drive a Qashqai with the engine warning light on?

That depends on the message and symptoms. Some warnings require reduced-load driving to obtain inspection; others require stopping the engine and arranging transport. The referenced J12 manual gives a stop instruction for an engine-malfunction message that includes power reduction. Do not decide from amber colour alone.

3. Why is the tyre-pressure light still on after inflating the tyres?

The system may need its specified drive cycle, reset, or relearn procedure, or there may still be a leak or TPMS fault. Check all four cold pressures and tyre condition first. A warning that flashes and then stays on can indicate a monitoring-system malfunction.

4. Is the READY light on a Qashqai e-POWER a warning?

A steady READY light is normally an operating indication: the drive system is active and the car can move. The petrol engine can be silent at that moment. We should use the normal shutdown procedure before leaving the vehicle rather than assume silence means it is switched off.

5. Why do the Stop/Start and e-POWER indicators behave differently?

They describe different systems. Conventional Stop/Start temporarily stops an applicable engine when operating conditions allow it. e-POWER uses a separate drive-system status, including READY and e-Pedal Step indications. Use the manual for the fitted drivetrain before interpreting a light or attempting a reset.
