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.

Last time I encountered the Peugeot maintenance light coming on, I learned the reset method. Simply put, after turning off the car, hold down the dashboard reset button while turning the key to the ignition position, then release when the light goes off. There might be slight variations for different model years, like the Peugeot 408 having a slightly different button position. Remember not to rush during the operation, as mistakes can affect the dashboard display data. The maintenance light is a reminder to change the oil or perform maintenance. After resetting, schedule service as soon as possible to avoid bigger problems that cost more time and money. Always check your car's condition before driving to minimize unexpected issues.

Having driven a Dongfeng Peugeot for many years, I'm quite familiar with the trick to reset the maintenance light. Here's how it's done: Turn off the engine and sit in the car, locate and hold down the TRIP button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the ACC position and wait for about 15 seconds. Release the button once the light stops flashing. However, the procedure might slightly differ for different models like the Peugeot 307, so it's advisable to check with a 4S shop. The maintenance light serves as a reminder for timely servicing—don't ignore resetting it. Paying attention to the brakes and engine sounds during daily driving can prevent faults, saving a lot on repair costs and giving you more peace of mind.
