How to resolve the Peugeot stop light issue?
2 Answers
When the Peugeot stop light illuminates, it is necessary to stop the vehicle immediately and contact a 4S dealership or repair shop. The activation of the stop light in Peugeot vehicles may indicate issues with the braking system, abnormal oil pressure, or excessively high coolant temperature. Continuing to drive with an overheated coolant can potentially lead to cylinder and bearing damage in the engine. Peugeot is an automotive brand under Peugeot Automobile Company, a subsidiary of the Citroën Group. The Peugeot 308 is a compact family car with dimensions of 4590mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2675mm and a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body type.
When the STOP light comes on in my Peugeot, the first reaction is to safely pull over and check immediately. The STOP light usually indicates a brake system failure or low brake fluid, which is extremely dangerous. I need to first see if other dashboard lights are on, such as the ABS warning. Then open the hood to check the brake fluid reservoir—if the level is low, top it up with brake fluid, but don’t add randomly. If the level is normal, I’ll restart the engine to see if the light disappears; if not, I suspect it might be a sensor issue or brake fluid leak. Never continue driving to avoid brake failure and potential accidents. I recommend calling for a tow truck promptly to a 4S shop or professional repair shop for diagnosis. Remember to regularly check brake pads and fluid levels to prevent such issues.
