The method to reset the wrench light on Peugeot 4008 is: 1. Turn off the ignition switch; 2. Press and hold the trip reset button; 3. Turn on the ignition switch, the odometer will start counting down; 4. When the display shows "initialization completed", release the button and the wrench symbol will disappear. The Peugeot 4008 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4510mm, width 1850mm, height 1628mm, wheelbase 2646mm, front track 1579mm, rear track 1587mm, fuel tank capacity 53 liters, and luggage compartment capacity 461 liters.
Last time I repaired my Peugeot 4008, I encountered the issue of resetting the small wrench indicator light, which is essentially a service reminder light. The procedure is quite straightforward: First, park the car and turn off the engine, ensuring it's completely shut down. Then, press and hold the ODO trip reset button on the left side of the dashboard—it's usually located behind the steering wheel for easy access. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine; just power up the dashboard. Hold the button for about 10 to 15 seconds, and you'll see the wrench symbol blink or disappear. At this point, release the button and turn off the ignition. The whole process takes just over ten seconds, and I've helped friends with it several times, usually succeeding on the first try. However, it's important to note that the wrench light is a reminder for maintenance, such as oil changes or engine inspections. Don't reset it unless you've already performed the necessary maintenance. Skipping maintenance just to turn off the light might seem minor, but it can harm your car, potentially leading to engine carbon buildup or transmission issues. I always check the vehicle's condition before resetting to ensure everything is in order. If you're unsure about the steps, consulting the owner's manual or a professional is safer, as details may vary slightly between vehicles.
My Peugeot 4008 has been running for over three years, and the little wrench light has come on a few times. I always reset it myself, and the method is super simple. First, turn off the engine and power down the car. Locate the small reset button near the dashboard—the one you usually press and hold when viewing the mileage. Firmly press and hold it without letting go, then turn the key to the ignition position (without starting the engine). Keep an eye on the dashboard lights until they start flashing. After about five seconds, the wrench light will begin flashing and then turn off. Immediately release the button and turn off the ignition—done! If it doesn’t work the first time, don’t worry. You might have pressed too lightly or missed the button’s position. Just try again once or twice, and it’ll work. The wrench light is actually a maintenance alert from the car’s computer system. Resetting it clears the counter, but if you haven’t actually done the maintenance, don’t mess with it—otherwise, the car might miscalculate the next service interval and cause issues. This is the fastest solution I’ve found, requiring no tools at all—saving both money and hassle. Regularly checking tire pressure and engine oil can help reduce how often the light comes on. Once you make it a habit, driving becomes much smoother.
