The method to reset the tire pressure light on the Peugeot 408 is: 1. Turn on the ignition switch and long-press the tire pressure monitoring reset button; 2. Release the button after hearing a beep sound. At this point, the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the original data, and the tire pressure light will be eliminated. The Peugeot 408 is a compact car produced by Dongfeng Peugeot, with body dimensions of 4750 mm in length, 1820 mm in width, and 1488 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2730 mm. The Peugeot 408 is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed AT transmission. It has a maximum horsepower of 136 hp, a maximum power of 100 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, a maximum torque of 230 Nm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1750 to 3500 rpm.
My Peugeot 408's tire pressure light has come on a few times, and the reset method is quite simple. First, make sure all tire pressures are at normal values—check when the car is cold. Peugeot's recommended tire pressure is usually between 2.2 and 2.5 bar; you can find the exact value on the label on the door frame. Next, park the car on a flat surface, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and wait for all dashboard lights to illuminate. Then, use the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel or the central control screen to navigate to the main menu, scroll to the vehicle settings option, and look for the tire pressure monitoring system submenu. Select the initialization or reset function and confirm. Once completed, the tire pressure light will automatically turn off. If the light remains on after the operation, there might be an issue with the sensor or incorrect tire pressure—don't force it and visit a professional shop for inspection. I recommend checking the tire pressure during every maintenance service rather than waiting for the warning light to ensure safer driving.
