To reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the
following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not
start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.
The service light on these vehicles is usually a spanner / wrench symbol. To reset that indicator:
Turn the Ignition ON (position 2) but do not start the engine
(On cars with keycard ignition, insert the card, then press and hold the start button for 5 seconds to turn on the dash cluster)
Press the button on the end of the wiper stalk repeatedly until the spanner symbol and miles to service appears on the display
(Some models have 2 buttons, which cycle through the options in opposite directions – either button can be used in this case)
Press and hold the button
The display will now change to the new service interval and start flashing
Keep holding the button until the display stops flashing
Release the button
With the ignition on, Press the end of the wiper stalk until miles to service appears on the dash screen.
Now, press and hold the mileage reset button on the instrument binnacle for more than 5 seconds, it will start to flash. Let go. This will reset your miles to service to the factory setting and get rid of the flashing spanner!

How to Reset the Service Light Citroen Xsara Picasso
Recently I have had a few requests for Citroen Xsara Picasso Service Light Reset information from people who service their own vehicles.
Being a mobile mechanic and auto diagnostic specialist I could use the stock answer and say “I’ll have to plug it in for you”.
As you have no doubt seen through my other posts I do not believe in making things difficult for the home mechanic.
Here is the procedure:
Sit in drivers seat ignition off and handbrake applied.
Press and hold trip reset button.
Turn key to position two (ignition lights on engine not started).
Keeping the trip reset button pressed in you will notice your trip meter counting down.
When zero (0) is reached start the car and the service light (spanner symbol) should now be extinguished.
Please only use this information after your vehicle has been serviced
