Method to reset the maintenance light on a Citroen C-Quatre: Turn off the ignition switch of the C-Quatre. Then press and hold the maintenance mileage reset button. After turning on the ignition switch, the odometer will start counting down. When the display shows "=0" and the maintenance light goes off, it indicates that the maintenance indicator has been successfully reset. Additional information: 1. Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. 3. Routine maintenance includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, replacing the three filters (air, cabin air, and fuel filter), checking and topping up brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid. The first maintenance for a new car is at 5,000 kilometers, and it is free. Remember to bring the maintenance manual, user manual, service network contact list, first free maintenance voucher, and pre-sale inspection certificate.
I've been driving a Citroen C-Quatre for almost ten years and have cleared the maintenance light multiple times. It's quite simple, so let me share the steps with you. First, park the vehicle securely, insert the key, and turn it to the second position, which is the ON position, but do not start the engine. On the dashboard, locate the small reset button, usually labeled 'reset' or marked with an arrow icon. Press and hold it for 10 to 15 seconds without releasing. You'll see the maintenance indicator light blink a few times and then turn off, indicating a successful reset. Remember, before clearing the light, make sure the vehicle has actually undergone maintenance, such as an oil change or filter replacement, otherwise the light will come back on soon, and your effort will be in vain. If it doesn't work the first time, don't worry—try turning off the key, waiting a few seconds, and repeating the process. I usually use a mobile app to track maintenance dates, which, combined with the light reminder, makes things much easier. It's also a good idea to check your user manual to confirm the exact procedure for your specific model year, as the button location might vary slightly between different C-Quatre models. I've seen friends accidentally press the wrong button, wasting time starting over. Developing a regular maintenance habit can help avoid more trouble, such as checking the brake system or tire wear.
