How to Turn Off the Service Light on the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Service warning light

See how to turn off the service light on the Citroen C3. This procedure is valid for many models with an analogue rev counter, including the 2023 model as shown in the video. Sit in the car and hold down the reset button on the rev counter; without releasing the button, turn the key to the ON position to power the dashboard, while keeping the engine off. Continue to hold the button for 15-20 seconds until you see the service light start to flash. At this point, release the button and turn off the car. Turn the dashboard back on, and the light should be off. If the light remains on, check for any blown bulbs (headlights, stop lights, indicators); this could be why the service light stays illuminated.
