How to eliminate the small wrench displayed on the car?

The method to eliminate the small wrench displayed on the car is: 1. Insert the key without turning it; 2. Press and hold the operating lever next to the odometer for 5 to 10 seconds, then turn the key to power on; 3. After another 5 to 10 seconds, start the car, keeping the operating lever pressed throughout the process without releasing it. The small wrench displayed on the car is a maintenance indicator, reminding the owner that it's time for maintenance. The owner should go to the nearest 4S store for maintenance inspection. The small wrench alarm is a maintenance reminder function set by the car manufacturer to remind the owner to perform maintenance according to the fixed mileage. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car.
I noticed that little wrench icon keeps flashing on the dashboard, which means it's time for maintenance like an oil change. Clearing it is usually pretty straightforward and doesn't necessarily require a trip to the repair shop—I've done it myself several times. First, turn off the engine but keep the key in the ACC position. Then locate the ODO button or trip meter button, hold it down, and simultaneously turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Wait about ten seconds, and the icon should disappear. If there's no ODO button, you might need a combination of buttons—just check the manual or search online for the specific method for your car model. The key is not to ignore it, as delaying maintenance can harm the engine. I handled it this way last time and saved some money—just remember not to tamper with other settings to avoid mistakes. Always pay attention to dashboard alerts while driving—prevention is better than repair.
