Last updated:
The spanner symbol on your Peugeot 308 Mk3 (P5, 2021–present) means the maintenance counter has run out. It’s a quick fix from the driver’s seat with the trip-reset button — no diagnostic gear required. Carry out the oil and filter change before you reset it.
Reset Only Once the Work Is Done
The counter simply tracks distance and time since the last reset, so clearing it early just hides the reminder while the oil keeps ageing.
How to Reset the 308 Service Indicator
- With the engine off, turn the ignition off completely.
- Press and hold the trip-reset button (the one you use to zero the trip distance).
- Still holding it, press the start/stop button to bring the ignition on (don’t start the engine).
- The spanner appears and a countdown runs — keep the button held.
- When it reaches ‘0’ and the spanner clears, let go. Done.
If It Won’t Clear
- Released too soon — hold right through to ‘0’.
- It’s another warning — a non-service symbol is a fault, not the maintenance timer.
