❓ From Dashboard Lights to Diagnostics: What Every Citroën Owner Should Know

Citroëns are modern marvels, but even the most well-built vehicles raise questions over time — especially when dashboard lights appear out of nowhere. Whether you’re new to the brand or a seasoned Citroën driver, this FAQ guide is designed to help you stay informed and in control.

At Chandler Motor Company — your local Peugeot specialist in Bristol — we’ve compiled answers to the most common Citroën queries our technicians hear in the garage.

🚨 What do different Citroën dashboard lights mean?

Citroën dashboard lights fall into three basic categories:

🟥 Red lights – Urgent: stop the vehicle and seek help
🟧 Orange/yellow lights – Warning: book a check-up soon
🟩 Green/blue lights – Informational: systems are operating normally

Examples:

  • 🔋 Battery symbol = Charging system fault
  • 🌡️ Thermometer = Engine overheating
  • ⚠️ Exclamation mark in triangle = General fault or stability system

🛠️ When should I book a diagnostic check?

If any of the following apply, it’s time to get your Citroën checked:

🟡 Warning light stays on after engine starts
🔊 Unusual noises or performance dips
🚙 Loss of power, jerky driving, or dashboard messages

💡 The earlier a fault is caught, the cheaper it usually is to fix.

💡 Can I keep driving if a warning light is on?

It depends on the type of light:

🟥 Red lights: ❌ No – pull over safely and call for assistance
🟧 Orange/yellow lights: ⚠️ Yes, but book diagnostics ASAP
🟩 Green/blue lights: ✅ Yes, safe to drive – these are just indicators

🔧 Ignoring a yellow light could still lead to major repair costs if left unchecked.
