It takes about 10 seconds to reset the maintenance light in a Peugeot 208. Naturally, for such a simple task, there is no need to go to a garage. Just follow the steps in the video: locate the reset button and hold it down while turning on the ignition, then wait about ten seconds before releasing it and turning off the ignition.

That's it. Of course, before proceeding to reset this light, ensure you have performed the service on your car: specifically, this involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, as well as potentially other filters (air, pollen, fuel).
