205 GL (1998) yellow service light

Does anyone know what the yellow warning light just under the fuel gauge
mean? Its symbol is a circle "between parethesis". It started sort of
blinking for the first time yesterday, it does not seem to have anything
to do with the speed I was travelling at. It does not turn on during the
routine check, just before you turn the engine on. Thanks. From Buenos
Aires, Argentina, Popi.

 

On the Citroen (my car) it could be front brake pad wear-supposed to show
when you use the brakes.
If the 'perenthesis' is dotted and the centre of the circle has a symbol of
a car changing wheels- anti lock brake problem. However, that should
illuminate with other test warning lamps when you switch on.

Thanks Dave!
I guess it might be the front brake pads... though the light goes off
while cruising, not when breaking.
The "parentheses" finish in arrows... (I guess they are not parenthesis
then =), and the circle is empty in the middle. My car does not have ABS.
Any other guesses?

Keep up your español and thanks,
Popi.

 

Think you'll defo find its the Front Brake wear indicator

 

Hi,

It is. I once had the problem with my '93 205 Junior D, it was a snapped
wear indicator cable.
