How to reset the maintenance indicator of the Citroen C5

Model: Citroen C5 MK 2, RD, X7 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Service warning light

Let's see how to reset the maintenance light on a Citroen C5: insert the key into the ignition and turn on the instrument panel. Press the "menu" button repeatedly, which is located on the instrument panel (the one we normally use to navigate the onboard computer), until the "service" screen appears. Hold down the selection button for 5 to 10 seconds. The display will start to flash, as shown in the video, and the counter will automatically reset to a value indicating the days remaining until the next service. Release the button, and the display will show a message like "service re-initialized." We can turn off the ignition.
