2 Answers
The method to clear the maintenance reminder on the Peugeot 408 is: 1. Turn on the power (without starting the engine) and reset the small trip meter on the dashboard; 2. Press the right button to switch the display to instantaneous fuel consumption; 3. Turn off the power and hold the right button without releasing it; 4. Turn on the power for self-check and continue pressing the right button for more than 3 seconds; 5. Release the right button, then press both the left and right buttons simultaneously, and release both buttons within 2 seconds. The Peugeot 408 is a compact sedan equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 136 hp, and paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Clearing the Peugeot 408 maintenance reminder is quite simple, and I often do it myself while driving it regularly. Here's the method: First, power on the car without starting the engine, meaning turn the key to the second position without pressing the brake. Then, press and hold the ODO or TRIP button on the dashboard, the small button that displays the mileage, and keep holding it without releasing. After about 10 seconds, you'll see the maintenance reminder light flash or turn off, then release the button and you're done. Make sure to perform this operation in a safe, parked state to avoid distracted driving. If it doesn't work the first time, you can try repeatedly or check the vehicle manual for specific instructions. After clearing, it will remind you of the next maintenance point at 5,000 km or six months—don't forget to service it on time to extend the car's lifespan and save fuel. In short, DIY clearing is simple and cost-effective, but be gentle during the process to avoid damaging other functions.
