How to reset the Peugeot maintenance reminder light?
2 Answers
Peugeot maintenance reminder light reset method: First, turn off the ignition switch. Then, press and hold the trip meter reset button on the instrument panel. Next, turn on the ignition switch, and you will see the odometer display start counting down. When the countdown reaches 0, release the button, and the maintenance light will be reset. Dongfeng Peugeot is a brand under the Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile Company Ltd. Taking the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 as an example, its body dimensions are 4750mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm. In terms of configuration, the Peugeot 408 features adaptive xenon headlights with an automatic leveling system and high-pressure headlight cleaning function, as well as a speed limiter-equipped cruise control system.
I've been driving my Peugeot for a long time, and the maintenance reminder light keeps coming on, which is really annoying. The first time it happened, I was completely confused, but then a friend taught me a trick: first, turn off the engine completely and remove the key. Then, locate the ODO button on the dashboard and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position, which is the state where the car is powered but the engine isn't started. Wait patiently for a few seconds, and the dashboard will show a countdown or changing numbers until it prompts that the reset is complete, then release the button. Give it a try, and it usually clears the light. If it doesn't work, it might be because the model or year is different. I searched online and found that some require specific button combinations or opening and closing the door a few times. The key is to clear the light promptly after maintenance, or it will keep reminding you that you forgot. I recommend checking the car manual regularly or keeping an electronic copy on your phone for easy reference. If you can't do it yourself, just take it to a repair shop and spend a little money to get it done—never neglect driving safety. Remember, the light going off doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with the car; regular check-ups are essential.
