Overview
After an oil change or service on your Peugeot or Citroën, you'll need to reset the service interval warning light — the spanner icon or "Service Due" message on the dashboard. This takes less than two minutes and requires no diagnostic equipment, just the ignition key and the buttons on your steering column or instrument cluster.
Method 1 — Trip Reset Button (Most Common)
This works on the majority of Peugeot and Citroën models with a trip computer button on the steering column stalk or instrument cluster.
Turn ignition to position 1
Insert the key and turn to position 1 (accessories on, engine OFF). On keyless-entry models, press the start button once without pressing the clutch or brake.
Press and hold the trip reset button
Locate the trip computer button — typically on the end of the wiper or indicator stalk, or a small button below the speedometer. Press and hold it. The display will cycle through trip information.
Navigate to the service interval display
Keep pressing (short presses) until the spanner/service icon and the remaining distance or time appears on the display — e.g. "OIL 15000KM" or "SERVICE ---".
Hold the button to reset
With the service interval displayed, hold the button for 5–10 seconds. The number will count down to zero, then the spanner icon will flash and disappear — confirming the reset is complete.
Turn ignition off and test
Turn the ignition off, wait 5 seconds, then turn back to position 2. The service warning should now be gone from the startup screen and dashboard.
Method 2 — Menu-Based Reset (Newer Models)
Newer Peugeot and Citroën models with a digital instrument cluster or infotainment screen use a menu-based reset.
Turn ignition on (engine off)
Turn to position 2 with the engine off, or press the start button once without starting the engine.
Access the vehicle information menu
Use the steering wheel buttons or infotainment touchscreen to navigate to: Settings → Vehicle → Maintenance or Service Interval Reset.
Confirm the reset
Select "Reset" or "Confirm" when prompted. The service interval counter will return to its full value and the warning light will clear.
