How to Reset the Maintenance Light on Dongfeng Peugeot?
3 Answers
Turn off the ignition switch. Then press and hold the "000" trip reset button. Turn on the ignition switch, and the odometer will start counting down. When the display shows "Initialization completed" or "=0", it means the maintenance light has been reset. Finally, release the button, and the wrench symbol (maintenance indicator light) will disappear.
After servicing my Dongfeng Peugeot, the maintenance light was still on, so I had to manually reset it. The usual steps are pretty straightforward: first, completely turn off the ignition switch, then locate the small reset button on the dashboard—its position may vary depending on the model. For my older version, it was near the ODO button. Press and hold it, then turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine. Wait about 10 seconds until the indicator light flashes and turns off, then release the button. If it doesn’t go off, you might need to repeat the process a few times or check if the car’s battery was recently replaced, causing the settings to reset. Remember, the maintenance light is a reminder to change the oil and service the car on time, so after resetting it, head to the shop for proper maintenance—don’t delay until minor issues become major repairs. It’s also a good habit to regularly check the tires and brake pads and keep track of the mileage to make the next service smoother.
I often tinker with Dongfeng Peugeot cars, and resetting the maintenance light is not difficult. The general procedure is as follows: Turn off the engine and make sure the car is stationary, then press and hold the reset button on the dashboard without releasing it, turn the key to the ON position, and wait for the indicator light to go out before letting go. For newer models like the Peugeot 308, more functions may be accessible through the central control screen menu. If you don’t understand it the first time, check the owner’s manual first to avoid pressing randomly and damaging the system, or search for a model-specific tutorial on a mobile app, which is also quite convenient. Regular maintenance can save fuel and extend the car’s lifespan. After resetting, don’t forget to schedule maintenance to ensure the oil and filters are in place, making driving safer and more reliable. Don’t overlook the importance of this simple indicator light.
