Citroen C5 Aircross (2017- 2024) - Owner's Manual

Warning lights

~1min read

Shown as symbols, the warning lamps inform you of a fault (warning lamps) or of the operating status of a system (operating or deactivation lamps). Some lamps have two types of illumination (steady or flashing) and/or several colours.

Related warnings

A warning lamp coming on may be accompanied by an audible signal and/or a message shown on a display.

Relating the warnings to the vehicle's operating status helps you tell whether the situation is normal or whether a fault has occurred: see the description of each warning lamp for more information.

When switching on the ignition

Some warning lamps, red or orange, come on for a few seconds.

These lamps must go out as soon as the engine starts.

For more information on a piece of equipment or a function, refer to the corresponding section.
