Citroen c5 Warning light - looks like soft-verges
I have a strange warning light on my dashboard which looks like a soft verge, seems like the car is leaning on one side (the drivers side), I have looked all over online, but cannot seem to find the meaning, does anyone know what it means?
Secondly, My wheels are wobbling at 50miles/hour speed and above, especially when I delay in changing gears, once i change the gear, it is still there but not as bad, what could it be?
One wheel nut was forcefully removed because it could not come out, could that be the problem? I also had an issue with drive-shaft and also changed tie rod/link rods on both sides

Don't know, but you need to put some details about your car to get advice. Some sort of ESP malfunction?

If it's a leaning car could possibly be tyre underinflation warning?? Might explain the wobbly wheels too.
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right

Could it be the ESP indicator. Mine lights up something like that at ignition on but I don't have ESP.

Re: Citroen c5 Warning light - looks like soft-verges
Nope - not the pressure sensor failure.
The pix is from my car (2003 C5 Break SX 2.0 Petrol) and I dont't have any pressure monitoring system - will have a look in the manual after work.

Re: Citroen c5 Warning light - looks like soft-verges
You'll probably have to ask Dr. Lexia what is causing that warning light.
ESP does a few clever things in an attempt to improve traction dependent on information it gets from various sensors around the car, lord knows what it isn't happy with.
It probably isn't wheel speed sensors if the ABS light isn't illuminated as well, but that's as far as I can say.
Wobbly wheels could be to do with lack of air in tyres, or perhaps you've lost a wheel balance weight. It tends to feel worse at certain speed ranges and goes away - one of the tyres on my Xantia wobbled like a goodun at 70
Wheel nuts are a bit too close to the centre of the wheel to make much difference to the balance of the wheel, unless one is missing of course!

I must also say that ABS comes on dashboard but it is not illuminated
I will take it for wheel balancing and take it from there
again thank you
