Warning and indicator lamps 
 
Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warn-
ing lamp) or of the operation of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamp). 
   
When the ignition is switched on 
  Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.  
When the engine is started, these warning lamps should go off.  
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp 
in question.  
   
Associated warnings 
  The illumination, fi xed or fl ashing, of certain warning lamps may be accompanied 
by an audible signal and the display of a message.  
   
Warning lamps 
 When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a malfunction which requires action on the part of the driver. 
  The warning comes on in the instrument panel. 
 
If your vehicle has a screen, a 
warning lamp coming on is al-
ways accompanied by the dis-
play of an additional message, 
to assist you in identifying the 
problem. 
  If you encounter any problems, 
do not hesitate to contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop.
