The method to reset the service light on Dongfeng Peugeot is: 1. Insert the car key and press the button below the fuel gauge on the dashboard; 2. Turn the key one position forward; 3. Keep holding for ten seconds, then release the button. Dongfeng Peugeot models include: Peugeot 5008, Peugeot 4008, Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 2008, Peugeot 208, Peugeot 408, etc. Taking the 2020 Peugeot 408 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4750mm, width 1820mm, height 1488mm, wheelbase 2730mm, fuel tank capacity 53l, and trunk capacity 455l.

I remember the technician at the 4S店 taught me this method after the last maintenance: Turn off the ignition switch, press and hold the small mileage reset button on the dashboard, then turn the key to power on but don't start the engine, continue holding for about 15 seconds until you see the maintenance countdown days appear on the screen or the warning light flashes, then release. It worked on my Peugeot 3008, but note that the button position may vary for different model years—my neighbor's car has it on the left side of the steering wheel. If the operation fails, don’t mess around; it’s best to use a diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, as incorrect operations might affect the vehicle's computer. After completing the process, remember to drive around to confirm the warning light is truly off, otherwise driving on the highway with it suddenly on can be quite dangerous.

Here's a veteran driver's trick: Find a flat surface, turn off the engine and engage the handbrake. Set the dashboard to display the total mileage, then press and hold the ODO TRIP button for 10 seconds. Keep holding it after powering on until the wrench icon flashes and disappears. This works well for the 2016 Peugeot 308, but some newer models require using the steering wheel buttons. Also note that this warning may appear after a battery disconnect, in which case no reset is needed. Remember, this light is essentially reminding you to change the engine oil and filter – don't just reset the light without proper maintenance, as engine repairs will cost you much more.

After years of researching cars, I've found that resetting the Peugeot maintenance light mainly involves three steps: First, turn off the engine and lock the car, waiting a few minutes for the system to enter sleep mode. Second, enter the car without pressing the brake pedal and press the start button to power on the system. Third, simultaneously press the return button and the volume button on the steering wheel for 7 seconds. For older models without steering wheel buttons, the operation is usually performed using the knob on the right side of the instrument panel. It's crucial to remind everyone to reset the maintenance mileage counter after turning off the light; otherwise, the next maintenance cycle won't be accurate. Last time, a car enthusiast randomly pressed buttons, causing the tire pressure warning to malfunction, and ended up spending over 300 to reset the system at a dealership.
