A warning appears, the car beeps, and suddenly we are wondering whether we can finish the journey. The useful answer depends on three things: the symbol, its colour and the message beside it. On a Peugeot 308, the same general warning can accompany very different problems, so identifying the picture is only the first step.
This Peugeot 308 dashboard symbols guide explains the main warning lights, what they mean and what to do next. We cover urgent STOP warnings, engine faults, brakes, AdBlue, tyre pressure and the extra displays found on electrified versions. We also separate normal operating indicators from faults that need diagnosis.
Coverage: common second-generation 308 features and the third-generation 308/P5 handbook, including selected hybrid, plug-in hybrid and e-308 indicators. Equipment and procedures vary by engine, year and market. The illustrations show P5 handbook symbols; older displays may use different artwork or wording. Only apply a procedure to a system fitted to your vehicle.
A potentially serious mechanical, electrical or braking problem
Stop safely, switch off as instructed and arrange assistance.
Amber/orange
A fault, restricted function or action needed
Read the message and follow its urgency; some amber faults still require immediate help.
Green
A function is operating or available
Confirm that the selected function is appropriate.
Blue
Usually main-beam headlights
Dip the lights when necessary.
White or grey
Status, standby or a driver instruction
Read the display; these are not automatically faults.
Colour alone cannot tell the whole story. A red seat-belt reminder requires fastening the belt; a red oil-pressure warning requires stopping the engine. Likewise, an amber rear fog-lamp indicator simply confirms that the lamp is on, while a flashing engine warning can indicate a fault capable of damaging the catalytic converter.
Why several lights appear before starting
Many warning lights illuminate briefly during the ignition-on check. Oil-pressure and charging indicators can remain visible before a combustion engine starts because the engine is not yet producing oil pressure or charging normally. What matters is whether the relevant warning clears after starting or the vehicle reports a fault.
We should also distinguish a deliberate stop-start event from switching the car fully off. On electrified models, an engine that is silent does not necessarily mean the vehicle cannot move. Use the driving-status display and the correct shutdown procedure.
Red Peugeot 308 warnings: when to stop
STOP warning light
STOP / red master warning — a serious fault needs an immediate response.STOP normally appears with another warning, a message and an audible alert. It can accompany major engine, braking, steering, transmission or electrical faults. It is not a routine servicing reminder and should not be dismissed because the vehicle still feels normal.Move to a safe place without abrupt manoeuvres, stop and switch off the ignition as instructed. Read the accompanying message and contact assistance. Repeatedly restarting to see whether STOP disappears can worsen a mechanical problem and does not establish that the vehicle is safe.
Engine oil pressure warning
Oil can — a lubrication-system warning while the engine is running.This is different from a low oil-level message. The engine may not be receiving adequate lubrication even when the dipstick level looks correct. Continuing to drive can cause expensive damage very quickly.Stop safely and switch the engine off. On level ground, check the oil level using the handbook’s waiting period and method. Do not overfill, use an arbitrary oil grade or restart simply because oil has been added. A pressure warning needs the underlying cause checked before further driving.
Maximum coolant temperature
Thermometer and waves — cooling-system temperature is too high.A rising temperature gauge and this warning require prompt action. Stop safely and switch off according to the displayed instruction. Let the engine cool before inspecting the coolant level; a hot cooling system can release scalding liquid and steam.Never open the expansion-tank cap while the system is hot. Topping up does not fix a leak, failed fan or circulation problem. If the warning persists, coolant is escaping or the car overheats again, arrange assistance rather than repeatedly cooling it and continuing.
12-volt battery charging warning
Battery symbol — the low-voltage charging circuit needs attention.This normally clears after starting. If it stays on while running, the problem can involve charging equipment, wiring or connections. On an electrified 308, this symbol is not simply the traction battery’s remaining charge percentage.Stop safely and follow the handbook’s shutdown instruction. Do not assume that switching off accessories guarantees enough electrical power to reach home. If electrical functions or the parking brake are affected, secure the vehicle as instructed and arrange help. Keep hands away from moving belts and live electrical components.
Red brake warning
Exclamation mark in a circle — check the braking message immediately.Depending on the display, this can indicate a significant brake-fluid problem. An applied parking brake has its own indication on many versions, so we should not automatically attribute every red brake warning to the parking brake.If the warning remains after the parking brake is released, or braking feels abnormal, stop safely. Low fluid can indicate a leak or another condition requiring inspection. Adding fluid alone is not proof that braking is safe, especially if the pedal feels soft or stopping performance changes.
Brake warning together with ABS
Combined brake and ABS warnings — possible brake-force distribution fault.An ABS light on its own is different from ABS together with a red braking warning. The combined display can indicate a problem with electronic brake-force distribution, which affects how braking force is managed between the wheels.Stop safely and contact a qualified workshop or roadside assistance. Do not treat this combination as permission to drive normally without ABS. Avoid sudden braking where possible while bringing the car to a safe stop, and explain the full combination of lamps when requesting help.
Red power steering warning
Steering wheel — steering assistance has a serious fault.A red steering warning, particularly with a chime or a noticeable change in steering effort, requires a safe stop. Hold the wheel firmly and avoid sudden changes of direction. Assistance may be reduced, making low-speed manoeuvres especially difficult.Switch off when safely stopped and arrange inspection. Some versions also have an amber steering alert for a less severe fault; its instructions differ. We should follow the actual colour and message rather than assuming all steering symbols permit the same response.
Parking brake, restraint and door indicators
Electric parking brake applied or flashing
Circled P — applied parking brake; flashing can indicate a problem.A steady applied indicator while parked is normally expected. Confirm that it clears when the brake releases before attempting to move. A flashing indicator or a parking-brake fault message needs a different response.Park on level ground where possible and follow the handbook’s instructions to secure the vehicle. Select P on an automatic or engage the appropriate gear on a manual after shutdown. If the brake cannot hold the car, do not leave it unsecured or repeatedly accelerate against it.
Electric parking brake fault
Parking-brake fault combination — read which functions remain available.Some faults affect the switch, others automatic release, and others the ability to apply the brake. The displayed combination matters because the correct securing procedure depends on which functions still work.Keep the vehicle stationary with the foot brake while deciding the next safe action. Follow the exact handbook procedure and use suitable wheel chocks when required. Arrange assistance if the vehicle cannot be secured. A generic reset sequence from another 308 generation can be inappropriate for your version.
Automatic parking brake functions disabled
Automatic-function symbol — automatic application or release is unavailable.This indication can mean that automatic parking-brake application and release have been deactivated. It does not necessarily mean that the parking brake cannot be operated manually, but we need to confirm its actual behaviour.Apply and release it using the proper control and check the instrument-panel confirmation. Do not rely on an assumed automatic application when switching off. If the function was not deliberately disabled, or there is an accompanying fault message, follow the handbook and arrange a check.
Airbag and pretensioner warning
Seated person and airbag — a restraint-system fault.The airbag system includes more than the visible airbags; seat-belt pretensioners and associated monitoring can also trigger a warning. The lamp cannot tell us which component is faulty or which protection will remain available in a collision.Have the system diagnosed promptly. Do not disconnect under-seat wiring, probe airbag connectors or clear the warning as a substitute for repair. If the alert began after moving a seat or interior work, tell the technician, but do not assume the cause without testing.
Passenger airbag OFF
Passenger airbag OFF — deliberate deactivation status.This status indicator is different from a general airbag fault. It confirms that the front passenger airbag has been switched off on equipped vehicles. The appropriate setting depends on who or what is occupying that seat.Never use a rear-facing child restraint in front of an active passenger airbag. Follow the vehicle and child-seat instructions, including permitted seating positions and reactivation when appropriate. If the status does not match the selected setting, have it checked before relying on it.
Seat-belt reminder
Belted-person symbol — a required belt is not fastened.A steady or flashing warning and increasing chime can mean that an occupied seat’s belt is unfastened. Check every occupied seating position and ensure each belt is properly latched and routed.A bag on a seat may sometimes affect occupancy detection, but we should first verify the passengers’ belts. Do not use dummy buckles to silence the reminder. If it continues with the seats and belts correctly used, the buckle or occupancy system may need inspection.
Door or boot open
Vehicle opening symbol — an access panel is not fully closed.The message may identify the affected door or boot. Stop somewhere safe and close it properly; do not attempt to reach across the cabin or open and close a door while moving.If it persists, check for trapped items and visible obstructions around the latch. A repeated warning with the opening securely shut may involve a switch or latch fault. Avoid slamming the panel repeatedly, and check that the boot is genuinely latched before continuing.
Engine, SERVICE and diesel warnings
SERVICE warning light
SERVICE or general service warning — the message identifies the problem.On a Peugeot 308, SERVICE is not always a reminder for an oil change. It can accompany faults without their own dedicated symbol, including minor issues or more significant problems. Temporary and persistent illumination can also have different meanings.Read the full message before deciding what to do. A remote-key battery notice and a parking-brake fault require very different actions. Resetting the maintenance counter will not repair a fault that happens to illuminate the SERVICE warning.
Service spanner and overdue maintenance
Spanner or service combination — check the maintenance information.The maintenance display tracks the scheduled service requirement. On some BlueHDi versions, an overdue service can also illuminate SERVICE alongside the spanner. Check both the time and distance information, since a low-mileage car can still be due by age.Book the appropriate maintenance and reset the reminder only after the work is completed. The reset process varies between generations and instrument panels. If another fault message remains afterwards, investigate it separately instead of repeating the service reset.
Check engine light: steady versus flashing
Engine outline — engine-management or emissions fault.A steady engine lamp after startup requires diagnosis without delay. A flashing lamp indicates a more urgent engine-management problem with a risk of catalytic-converter damage. Rough running, shaking, strong fuel smell or major power loss makes continued driving particularly unwise.Reduce load and stop safely if the lamp flashes or the engine runs badly, then seek assistance. With a steady lamp and normal operation, follow the handbook and arrange a prompt check. Neither the lamp nor a generic fault message identifies a specific failed part.
AdBlue low-level warning
AdBlue indication — refill before the restart countdown expires.This applies to equipped BlueHDi diesel versions. The display can show remaining distance before starting is prevented. The progression from an initial reminder to a flashing warning depends on the version and remaining range.Use the correct AdBlue in its separate filler and follow the handbook’s quantity and recognition procedure. Do not pour it into the diesel tank. Minimum refill quantities vary, so a small splash may not clear an empty-tank restart lockout. Refill early rather than testing the countdown’s limit.
SCR emissions-control fault
AdBlue plus engine/service warnings — an emissions-system fault may be present.An SCR malfunction is different from simply running low on AdBlue. A confirmed fault can also trigger a distance countdown to restart prevention even when there is fluid in the tank.Arrange diagnosis promptly and report the exact message. Repeated top-ups will not necessarily fix a dosing, sensing, wiring or other system fault. If starting has already been prevented because of a confirmed malfunction, professional repair is required; clearing codes is not a dependable way to restore normal operation.
Diesel glow-plug preheating
Coil symbol — diesel preheating before starting.Brief illumination before a cold start can be normal. Wait for the preheating indication to finish and use the prescribed starting procedure. In warm conditions, the lamp may be visible only briefly or not noticeably illuminate.A warning that remains unexpectedly or appears with a fault message needs investigation. Do not apply another manufacturer’s meaning to a flashing coil symbol without checking this Peugeot’s handbook. Difficult starting can have several causes, so replacing glow plugs solely on the appearance of a warning is poor diagnosis.
Particle filter and additive messages on diesel models
Some diesel 308 versions report particle-filter saturation or additive level through a message and SERVICE rather than a single universal DPF icon. The particle filter, its additive system where fitted, and the AdBlue/SCR system have different jobs. AdBlue is not the fluid used to refill an additive-assisted particle-filter system.
For an isolated early saturation warning, the correct handbook may specify a regeneration drive under particular conditions. Follow that version’s speed, engine-speed and operating requirements only if the car is otherwise safe to drive. Do not attempt a cleaning drive with STOP, overheating, severe power loss or rough running. An additive-level warning or a persistent blockage needs workshop attention; high-speed driving does not replace the required fluid or repair.
Tyres, stability control and driver assistance
ABS warning light
ABS in a circle — anti-lock braking has a fault.With an isolated ABS warning, conventional braking may remain, but anti-lock protection is unavailable. Drive cautiously at a moderate speed only as permitted by the handbook, leave more room and arrange repair.If a red brake warning appears too, or the pedal feels abnormal, stop safely instead. A wheel-speed sensor is one possible cause, but the warning alone cannot distinguish a sensor from wiring, supply or control-unit problems. Diagnosis should precede replacement parts.
Tyre pressure warning
Tyre-shaped symbol with an exclamation mark — check the tyres.Stop safely and inspect for damage, then measure all relevant tyres using the specified cold pressures for the load. A tyre that looks normal can still be underinflated. If a tyre is damaged or rapidly losing air, follow the puncture procedure rather than continuing.Reinitialise the monitoring system only after pressures have been corrected. On versions with indirect detection, reinitialising with low pressures stores an incorrect reference. A flashing-then-steady warning with SERVICE may instead indicate a monitoring-system fault.
DSC or traction-control warning
Skidding car — active intervention or a fault, depending on behaviour.Flashing during acceleration on a slippery surface can indicate normal stability or traction-control intervention. Ease off the accelerator and adapt speed to the available grip. The system helps, but it cannot create unlimited traction.A steady warning with a fault message requires inspection. Related systems can share wheel-speed or other information, so several warnings may have one underlying cause. Do not assume each lamp represents a separate expensive failure before the fault codes and electrical supply have been checked.
DSC/ASR deactivated
Stability-control OFF indication — traction assistance is switched off.This can appear after deliberate deactivation, where the vehicle permits it. Check the settings and restore normal operation when the temporary reason for switching it off has passed.Some versions reactivate assistance automatically after restarting or above a specified speed, but we should not assume the same rule applies to every 308. If the indicator remains unexpectedly or a fault message appears, have the system checked rather than treating it as a simple settings issue.
Active Safety Brake and collision warning
Collision-braking symbol — intervention, deactivation or fault.A flashing indication can accompany automatic braking intervention. A steady warning may describe deactivation, a fault or an obstructed sensor. The message is essential because these states do not all require the same action.Maintain full control and do not rely on the system to stop the car. If a sensor-obstruction message appears, park safely and clean the relevant external camera or sensor area as instructed. Persistent warnings after cleaning need inspection; camera calibration can matter after glass or body repairs.
Lane keeping assist
Lane symbol — steering assistance or system status.The display can show intervention when the car approaches a lane marking without signalling. Other colours or messages can indicate standby, deactivation, an obscured camera or a fault.Keep your hands on the wheel and remain responsible for lane position. Poor markings, glare or weather can limit recognition without proving a hardware failure. A persistent fault requires diagnosis. Do not test whether the system works by deliberately drifting out of a lane in traffic.
Parking sensor warning
Parking assistance symbol — obstacle detection or restricted assistance.A normal detection alert increases awareness of nearby objects. A fault message or sensor-blind notice means we cannot rely on the same protection. Check the display rather than interpreting every beep as a malfunction.Park safely, switch off as instructed and clean the relevant sensors. Snow, mud or an accessory near a sensor can interfere with operation. Continue manoeuvring only with direct observation and adequate clearance; a camera view does not eliminate blind spots or guarantee that every obstacle is detected.
Hybrid, plug-in hybrid and e-308 symbols
Traction battery overheating
Battery temperature warning with STOP — stop and leave the vehicle.This is a critical warning on equipped electrified versions. It refers to the drive battery rather than an ordinary low-charge reminder. The handbook calls for a safe stop and shutdown, followed by evacuation to a safe distance.Contact assistance. If there is smoke, fire or another immediate danger, call emergency services and keep away. Do not open, cool, charge or otherwise attempt to work on the traction battery yourself. High-voltage components require specialist handling.
Traction battery malfunction
Battery fault with SERVICE — specialist diagnosis is needed.A traction-battery malfunction can appear with SERVICE and a message. It is different from low charge and should not automatically be treated as something a charging session will cure.Follow the displayed instructions and contact a qualified workshop. Note whether the vehicle can enter its ready state and whether charging was in progress when the warning appeared. If STOP or an overheating warning accompanies it, use the urgent stop procedure rather than continuing to a charger.
Electric drive system malfunction
Electric-drive fault — motor or traction-battery system problem.A red system malfunction on an equipped hybrid or electric version requires a safe stop, shutdown and professional assistance. The icon does not identify which high-voltage component is responsible.Do not touch orange cables or disconnect battery components in an attempt to reset the car. Record the message after stopping and tell assistance whether the vehicle is an e-308, plug-in hybrid or another hybrid version. Recovery requirements depend on the drivetrain, so use the prescribed transport method.
Low traction battery level
Low-charge battery indicator — plan a charging stop immediately.On the e-308, this concerns energy available for driving. Check the remaining range and locate an accessible charging point without assuming the displayed estimate is guaranteed. Speed, temperature, gradients and heating demand can change consumption.A plug-in hybrid’s depleted electric range has a different context because it also has a combustion engine, subject to fuel and system availability. Read your version’s message instead of applying electric-only driving advice to every electrified 308.
Tortoise mode and limited power
Tortoise — critically restricted available performance on the electric version.This can appear when traction-battery charge becomes critically low. Available power may progressively reduce, making normal acceleration and maintaining speed more difficult. It should not be treated as an invitation to use every last kilometre of range.Move to a safe charging location if it is safely reachable. If the car cannot keep pace safely, stop and request assistance. A tortoise warning that remains despite adequate charging needs inspection. Do not attempt a motorway journey with severely restricted performance.
Charging cable connected
Plug or cable symbol — the vehicle is still connected.This normally confirms a connection rather than a fault. A connected charging cable can prevent the vehicle from entering a driveable state, even if charging has finished.End the charging session using the correct procedure, unlock and disconnect the cable, and close the flap before moving off. Never pull against a locked connector or attempt to drive to release it. If it will not unlock, follow the handbook’s release instructions or contact support for that charging equipment.
READY indicator
READY — the vehicle can be ready to move without engine noise.On equipped plug-in hybrid and electric versions, this confirms the ready-to-drive state. Silence is normal when propulsion does not require the combustion engine. Keep the brake applied while selecting the intended direction.The indicator’s visibility can change with vehicle movement, depending on the version. Before leaving the driver’s seat, select the appropriate parking state, secure the vehicle and switch it off properly. Do not leave children or other occupants assuming that a silent car is inactive.
Normal operating and lighting indicators
Stop & Start operating
Green stop-start symbol — the combustion engine has stopped automatically.When conditions permit, Stop & Start temporarily stops the engine during a stop. Brief flashing can indicate temporary unavailability or an automatic restart request, depending on the display.The engine may restart without turning the key again. Use the full shutdown procedure before leaving the vehicle or working under the bonnet. Battery condition, temperature and cabin demands can prevent an automatic stop; that alone is not enough to diagnose a failed battery or starter.
Stop & Start unavailable or disabled
Amber stop-start indication — read the reason shown.Manual deactivation and automatic unavailability can both prevent the engine stopping at the next halt. A fault indication, especially flashing followed by steady illumination and a message, is a separate condition requiring a check.Confirm the setting and read the warning before replacing components. Hybrid e-Auto operation is not identical to the petrol or diesel Stop & Start system. The menu and indicator meanings should be matched to the actual powertrain rather than assumed from a similar dashboard picture.
Direction indicators and hazards
Flashing arrows — turn signals or hazard lamps are operating.The arrows normally flash with the indicator sound. Both sides flashing usually correspond to the hazard warning lamps. Confirm the signal is cancelled after the manoeuvre.An unusual flash rate or an accompanying lighting message can justify checking the exterior lamps. Inspect the actual lights when parked safely; a dashboard arrow alone cannot prove that every external lamp is working. Use hazards appropriately when warning other road users of a stationary obstruction or emergency.
Daytime running lamps and sidelamps
Paired lamp symbol — exterior lighting status.This can indicate daytime running lamps or sidelamps according to the vehicle’s lighting system and ambient conditions. It is not an engine or electrical-system fault warning.Check the selected lighting mode when visibility deteriorates. Do not assume that an illuminated instrument panel proves that the correct exterior lamps are on. Fog, spray and changing light can require the driver to intervene even when automatic lighting is selected.
Dipped-beam headlights
Headlamp with downward rays — dipped beams are on.This is normally a confirmation that the headlights are operating in dipped-beam mode. It does not require a repair simply because it remains lit during a night journey.If forward illumination is unexpectedly poor, stop safely and check the lighting controls and any fault messages. Make sure the lamps are clean and unobstructed. A normal indicator does not replace a physical check when a lamp has visibly stopped working.
Main-beam headlights
Blue headlamp symbol — main beams are on.Main beams provide longer-range illumination but can dazzle other road users. Dip them when approaching or following traffic and whenever conditions require it.If the blue symbol remains on when you intended to use dipped beams, check the stalk position. Automatic high-beam assistance does not remove our responsibility to override the system when needed. Strong reflections, bends and unusual lighting conditions can require manual control.
Automatic headlamp dipping
Automatic lighting symbol — high-beam assistance is selected.This indicates the automatic function’s status, which is different from the blue main-beam lamp confirming the actual beam in use. Availability depends on the fitted equipment and operating conditions.Keep the camera area clean and monitor the road ahead. A separate fault message can indicate a camera or lighting-system problem. Matrix LED versions use additional status displays, so follow the relevant handbook rather than assuming a basic automatic-beam symbol describes every lighting mode.
Rear fog lamp
Amber fog-lamp symbol — rear fog lighting is on.This is usually a normal status indicator, not an amber fault. Rear fog lamps make the car more visible in very poor visibility but can dazzle following drivers when used unnecessarily.Switch them off when conditions improve and follow local rules on their use. Front fog equipment varies between generations and trims; a rear fog indicator does not mean the front fog lamps are fitted or illuminated. Check the lighting controls if the symbol appears unexpectedly.
Foot on brake reminder
Brake-pedal symbol — apply the brake for the requested operation.This can appear when more brake-pedal pressure is required, such as before leaving P on an automatic or operating a drive selector. It is an instruction rather than a brake-fluid warning.Press the pedal firmly and follow the normal starting or selection sequence. If the instruction persists despite correct pedal operation, do not force the selector. Check for other messages and arrange inspection if the car will not acknowledge the brake input.
What common Peugeot 308 fault messages really mean
Message or combination
What to check first
What not to assume
Engine fault: repair needed
STOP, flashing engine lamp, temperature, noise and running quality
That one particular sensor or timing component has failed
Emissions fault with AdBlue countdown
Whether this is low fluid or a confirmed SCR malfunction
That every countdown disappears after topping up
Parking brake fault
Whether the vehicle can be securely immobilised
That automatic application still works
Under-inflation detection fault
Actual tyre pressures and the monitoring-system message
That reinitialisation repairs a monitoring fault
Driving assistance sensor blind
The relevant camera or sensor area, after parking safely
That every assistance feature remains available
Several warnings at once
Multiple alerts can result from a shared electrical supply, a communication issue or information used by several systems. They can also represent genuine independent faults. We should not jump straight to “it is only the battery” or assume the most expensive component has failed.
Record the warnings in order, including whether they appeared before starting, after a battery replacement, during charging or while driving. A workshop should check the relevant systems and stored codes rather than relying solely on a basic engine-code reader. Brake, airbag, body and hybrid modules may require broader diagnostic coverage.
Can we reset the warning ourselves?
A maintenance reminder reset, a tyre-pressure reinitialisation and clearing fault codes are three different operations. Each has a specific purpose. Correct the tyre pressures before reinitialising, complete servicing before resetting its reminder, and repair a fault before treating code clearance as the final step.
Avoid disconnecting the battery as a universal cure. It may erase useful diagnostic information, create additional setup requirements or leave the original problem untouched. Before any reset, save the exact warning wording and diagnostic codes. A light that disappears temporarily is not evidence that its cause has been repaired.
A practical checklist when a warning appears
Keep control. Watch the road and find a safe stopping place if the warning requires it.
Identify urgency. STOP, oil pressure, overheating, serious braking problems or severe running symptoms take priority.
Read the message. Note the colour, whether the lamp flashes and which other indicators accompany it.
Match the vehicle. Confirm the engine, generation and relevant handbook instructions.
Check only what is safe. Tyre pressures and accessible fluid levels can be useful; hot coolant and high-voltage components are not DIY inspection points.
Arrange the right help. Explain the symptoms and ask for recovery when driving is unsafe.
Conclusion
Peugeot 308 dashboard symbols become easier to understand when we combine the image with its colour, behaviour and accompanying message. STOP and lubrication warnings demand a different response from a service spanner, while AdBlue levels, SCR faults and particle-filter messages should be treated separately. Identify the exact version, take urgent alerts seriously and fix the cause before resetting anything.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I drive my Peugeot 308 with the SERVICE light on?
It depends on the message. SERVICE can accompany a maintenance reminder, a minor issue or a more significant fault. Read the full warning and follow the handbook. If STOP, abnormal braking, overheating or severe engine symptoms are also present, stop safely and arrange help instead of continuing.
2. What does a flashing Peugeot 308 engine light mean?
A flashing engine warning can indicate an engine-management fault that risks catalytic-converter damage. Reduce engine load and stop safely, especially if the engine shakes or loses power. Contact a qualified workshop or assistance. Do not assume it is safe because the flashing stops temporarily.
3. Why is the AdBlue warning still on after refilling?
The refill may not meet the version’s required quantity or recognition conditions, or the message may concern an SCR malfunction rather than low fluid. Check the exact warning and handbook procedure. If a fault or restart countdown persists, have the system diagnosed rather than repeatedly adding more fluid.
4. How do I clear the Peugeot 308 tyre pressure warning?
First inspect the tyres and adjust them to the specified cold pressures for the load. Then use the reinitialisation procedure for your instrument panel or touchscreen. Do not reset with an unresolved puncture. A flashing-then-steady warning with SERVICE can indicate a system fault that needs inspection.
5. Does READY mean my hybrid or electric 308 is switched on?
READY means the equipped vehicle is ready to drive, even if there is no engine sound. Its display behaviour can vary with movement. Before leaving, follow the full parking and shutdown procedure; silence alone does not establish that the vehicle is switched off.
