How to reset the service light on a Peugeot car?

Press the car start button to start the car. Check the car dashboard, and a maintenance reminder will appear. Click the SET button on the multifunction steering wheel to reset it. Place the ignition switch in the ON position, and the "SERVICE" indicator will disappear, indicating the reset is complete.

My Peugeot had been running for about a year when the service light suddenly came on, which really worried me as I thought there was a major issue with the car. After checking some community forums, I learned that this light indicates it's time for routine maintenance, like an oil change or brake pad inspection. To reset this light on a Peugeot, there's usually a simple manual method: First, sit in the car without starting the engine, turn the ignition to the ON position, then press and hold the trip reset button on the dashboard for about ten seconds until the light goes off. If the light doesn’t turn off, it might be due to rushing the process or an actual problem with the car. Never ignore this light—prolonged neglect can accelerate part wear, and delayed maintenance can harm the engine. Last time I tried this, the light went off. I’d recommend regular vehicle maintenance to prevent small issues from turning into big problems.

As someone who has driven a Peugeot for several years, I always address the service light promptly to avoid affecting the vehicle's lifespan. That light is a reminder for scheduled maintenance, and the reset method is quite simple: without starting the engine, just turn the key to the ignition position, press and hold the button on the dashboard (usually near the odometer) for several tens of seconds until the light flashes or goes out. If that doesn't work, you'll need to visit a 4S shop to reset it with diagnostic equipment—they're more professional. Always pay attention to the maintenance schedule, checking the oil and filters every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. I recommend keeping a maintenance manual handy, as it contains detailed steps. Ignoring the light for too long can lead to reduced power, higher fuel consumption, and more trouble than it's worth. Proper maintenance ensures smoother driving and saves a lot on repair costs.

The service light coming on is quite common in Peugeot vehicles. Having seen it many times, I usually handle it directly: It's typically a maintenance reminder. The reset method is to sit in the driver's seat, turn off the engine but keep the key in the ON position, then press and hold the reset button on the instrument panel for about ten seconds to reset it. If that doesn't work, take it to a repair shop and use an OBD tool to connect to the computer for a fix. As for the reason, the light indicates it's time to change the oil or check the system. Regular maintenance can extend the vehicle's lifespan.
