Last updated:
When the service / spanner reminder appears on your DS 3 Crossback (2019–present), you can clear it yourself after an oil change using the car’s reset button — no dealer and no diagnostic tool. It’s the standard PSA group method and takes under a minute. It works the same on the petrol, diesel and E-Tense electric DS 3 Crossback.
Before You Start
The service indicator counts down to your next oil/maintenance service, so only reset it once the work has actually been done. You’ll use the small reset button on the instrument cluster (the trip/0.0 button) together with the start/stop button.
Resetting the Service Indicator
- Turn the ignition off.
- Press and hold the reset button on the cluster.
- While holding it, press the START/STOP button to switch the ignition on (don’t start the engine).
- The display shows the ‘maintenance’ symbol and a countdown — keep the reset button held.
- When the countdown reaches ‘0’, release the button. The maintenance symbol disappears.
- Switch the ignition off. The service indicator is reset.
If the Reminder Won’t Clear
- Hold the reset button the whole time — releasing before the countdown ends cancels the reset.
- Make sure the ignition is on but the engine isn’t running when you press start/stop (don’t press the brake).
- A different warning, not the spanner? An oil-pressure or sensor fault stores a code — look it up on autodtcs.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the service light on a DS 3 Crossback?
Ignition off, hold the cluster reset button, press start/stop to switch on, keep holding until the countdown reaches 0, then switch off.
Do I need a diagnostic tool?
No — the button sequence is the owner method.
Does this work on the E-Tense electric model?
Yes — the service-reset is the same across the DS 3 Crossback range.
The light came back — why?
The reset probably didn’t complete; repeat it, holding the button until the countdown reaches 0.
