Info display screen glowing orange after I've locked the car

Post by Johnnyb60 »

Hi and hope your all well,
I had a strange issue with my car this evening.
After getting home from work I locked the car as normal and noticed the information screen the shows the time/radio station ect was glowing orange but with no info displayed on it.
Normally it just simply powers down as soon I remove the key from the ignition.
I then unlocked the car, turned the key in the ignition to aux position then off again and it then behaved itself.
Is this just a Peugeot quirk with a software glitch that sometimes happens or is there something sinister going on.
Apart from that the car is behaving faultlessly,
Any answers or comments are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Johnny

Probably just an odd glitch, since it cleared readily.

That what I was thinking Ian,
After searching the Internet I did find a post on a Peugeot 206 forum where someone had experienced the same issue.
There was a reply to it saying the early cars were known to suffer from this software bug and it was easily sorted by cycling the ignition key.
Thanks for replying 👍
