We inherited a Peugot 5008 earlier this year. On a couple of occasions a symbol that looks like a man with a red bolt of lightning through his head comes up. It always happens near Chester Zoo and once today on the M6 near Morecambe turning. I can't find anything in the 200 + page pdf manual, nor anything online.
Does any biscuiteer have a Scooby doo what the symbol is for - it appears where the speed camera warning symbols appear.
Can't find it. Perhaps they just throw one in for a laugh
If it's red, take it seriously
I'm no mechanic, but from your description, it sounds like the 'Accident Blackspot' indication, generated by the SatNav. I saw something similar on a Citroen I had as a hire car for work, and it would be consistent with always appearing at the same spot (near Chester Zoo in your case).
Someone obviously thought it would be a good idea to distract the driver from looking at the road by generating a mysterious, unintelligible symbol on the SatNav display as you hurtle towards an accident blackspot.
'Red bolt of lightning through his head' you say?
Like this?
Harry Potter warning?
I have trawled the Interwebs with no joy. The accident black spot warning is normally a white triangle with a big black spot in it. Like you, I am gagging for an answer.
The only similar thing I came across was a graphic for Artificial Intelligence but can't see how that might fit in.
Does it look like that, throngsman? Mystery solved? I can't find it on a Peugeot website but reckon that's it.
Well, phew! I'm glad that's sorted, although I'm a little disappointed. I wonder why they use such a weird symbol rather than the standard one?
Also why is Chester zoo a black-spot? Is that the leopards or do they have rare bead pigs?
