The Peugeot 1007 (2005–2011) displays a service indicator on the dashboard — usually a small spanner symbol — to remind you when routine maintenance is due. It is a maintenance reminder, not a fault warning: it counts toward the next scheduled service and, once you have carried out the work, it has to be reset by hand so it can start counting again. This guide shows you how to reset it on the 1007 without any special tools.
What the Service Indicator Means
The service reminder on the 1007 is tied to the car’s scheduled maintenance interval. When the spanner symbol lights, usually for a few seconds at start-up, it is telling you that a service — typically an oil and filter change — is due or close to due. It is a distance-and-time based prompt, not a live reading of your oil’s condition, so it cannot tell whether the work has actually been done. That is exactly why a manual reset is needed after every service: without it, the reminder keeps showing even though fresh oil is in the engine.
When to Reset
- After completing an oil change or routine service.
- After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.
- If the reminder interval has been adjusted by your workshop and you want to sync it.
First, a Few Checks
A few things make the reset go smoothly and keep the interval honest:
- Do the service first. Reset only after the maintenance is genuinely complete, so the next reminder lands at the right time.
- Park safely on level ground with the handbrake on.
- Have the key ready but leave the engine off — the sequence uses the ignition ON position, not a running engine.
- No tools required. Everything is done with the trip button and the ignition key.
Manual Reset Procedure
- Switch the ignition OFF.
- Press and hold the trip odometer button on the instrument cluster.
- While holding the button, switch the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine).
- The service indicator display will begin a countdown (e.g. from 10 to 0).
- Keep holding until the display shows “0” and then resets.
- Release the button and switch ignition OFF.
- Turn the ignition back ON to confirm the service interval has cleared.
Troubleshooting & Tips
- If the display does not reset, repeat the process carefully, ensuring you press the trip button before turning the key.
- Hold the trip button all the way through the countdown — if you let go before it reaches “0”, the reset is cancelled.
- Reset only after completing scheduled service to maintain accurate intervals.
- If the indicator reappears quickly, check that the correct service interval is stored — some models allow adjustment via diagnostic tool.
Once the Reset Is Done
Once the countdown completes and the display clears, the spanner symbol should no longer appear at start-up, and the service interval restarts from full. Nothing else on the car is affected — the reset only clears the maintenance reminder and does not touch any genuine warning light, such as an oil-pressure or engine warning, which point to faults and are handled separately.
Reset Frequency
Reset the indicator every time the scheduled service behind it is carried out. The exact mileage and time between services depends on the engine and how the car is used, so follow the interval printed in your vehicle handbook rather than assuming a fixed number. The simple rule: complete the service, then reset the reminder as the final step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the service light on a Peugeot 1007?
Ignition off, press and hold the trip button, turn the ignition on (engine off) and keep holding through the countdown to zero, then switch off and back on to confirm.
Do I need a diagnostic tool?
No — the trip-button method is the owner reset. A diagnostic tool is only needed if you want to change the stored interval or read a fault code.
Why does the reset use a countdown?
Holding the trip button with the ignition on puts the display into its reset routine, which counts down before zeroing the service interval. Holding through the full countdown is what confirms it.
The spanner light keeps coming back — why?
Either the reset didn’t complete — you released the button too early — or the stored interval is very short. Repeat the procedure, holding the button all the way to zero.
Do I need to reset it after changing the battery?
It can help to re-confirm the service interval after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, so run the reset if the reminder behaves oddly afterwards.
Will resetting erase my odometer?
No. The reset only clears the service-interval reminder. Your total mileage on the odometer is not affected.
