Peugeot uses indirect TPMS (ABS-based) on most modern models — inflate then reset via the touchscreen menu. Older 207/308/3008 with direct sensors need a button-press relearn.
Why the Peugeot tyre pressure light is on
Modern Peugeots (208 II, 2008 II, 308 III, 3008 II, 5008 II, Partner, Rifter) use indirect TPMS — ABS-based, no wheel sensors. Older 207, 308 I, 3008 I and some 508s use direct sensors which can fail over time.
Peugeot tyre pressure light reset — step by step
- Inflate all four tyres cold to the placard pressures (inside driver's door pillar or fuel flap).
- Switch ignition ON.
- On 208/2008/308 III/3008 II/5008 II with the i-Cockpit touchscreen: Menu → Driving → Tyre Pressure Reset → Confirm.
- On older 308 I/3008 I/508 I with direct TPMS: press and hold the TPMS button on the dash (left of steering wheel) for 5 seconds until you hear a beep.
- Drive over 25mph for 10 minutes to allow the relearn to complete.

If the light won't go off
Light back the next day? Almost certainly a slow puncture or a valve leak (very common on French alloys — the valve seals harden after 5 years). On older direct-TPMS Peugeots, a flashing TPMS light for 60–90 seconds before going steady means a sensor fault, not a low tyre.
What it costs
Reset is free. Direct TPMS sensors (older models) £35–£65 fitted at an indie. The newer indirect cars have nothing to fail.
Bob's workshop tip
On any French car (Peugeot, Citroen, Renault), if the tyre light is coming on regularly and pressures are fine, get the valve cores replaced at your next tyre change. £2 of parts, saves you a recurring annoyance.
