Can I still drive when the Peugeot service light is on?

The Peugeot service light must be reset before you can drive again. Try inserting the car key, pressing the button below the fuel gauge on the dashboard, and then turning the key forward one notch. Here are the details: 1. Dongfeng Peugeot: Dongfeng Peugeot is a brand under Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile Company Ltd. In October 2002, Dongfeng Motor Corporation and the French PSA Group (Peugeot Citroën Group) signed an expanded cooperation joint venture contract. The two major groups joined forces to fully implement the new blueprint for introducing the Peugeot brand into China, and Dongfeng Peugeot was born. 2. Brand history: The French Peugeot Automobile Company has a long history and can be called a century-old brand. Its history of automobile production is second only to the automotive pioneer Daimler-Benz. However, unlike Daimler-Benz, Peugeot did not start with the automobile industry. Before entering the automobile industry, it was involved in a wide range of products, including hardware tools, household appliances, crinolines, telescopes, springs for pince-nez glasses, saw blades, surgical instruments, shotguns, radios, sewing machines, and more. Before the automobile era arrived, Peugeot also had a considerable production scale for bicycles, motorcycles, and transport trucks.
Last year, the service light on my Peugeot came on, and I could still drive it to work for several days without major issues, though I felt the acceleration was a bit slower. The service light is a regular maintenance reminder, like a prompt to change the oil or check the brakes, not as urgent as a malfunction light. It's okay for short trips around the city, but avoid highways or long-distance driving. I delayed for a week, and when I finally went for maintenance, they said the oil was dirty and almost affected the engine. It's recommended to check the user manual as soon as the light comes on to confirm the issue; driving is fine under normal conditions, but don't exceed a few hundred kilometers. Maintenance record apps can also help track and prevent small issues from becoming big problems. Vehicles need regular maintenance just like people need check-ups—drive safely and don't take risks.
