Method to reset the maintenance wrench icon on Dongfeng Fengshen AX7: 1. When the maintenance light of Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 prompts for an oil change service, it's best not to reset it arbitrarily before servicing. You should go to a 4S shop for maintenance and use professional diagnostic equipment to reset it. 2. If maintenance has already been performed, you can reset it when the vehicle power is off (in P gear). Press and hold the left OK button on the steering wheel without stepping on the brake, then press the ignition button once. Wait for 10 seconds (during which the instrument panel will normally display "Please depress the brake pedal" - ignore this and continue holding OK). Then press the ignition button again, and when the instrument panel lights up, you'll see the wrench light has been reset.
I remember last time the wrench light came on in my 2015 Fengshen AX7, which was actually the maintenance reminder light telling me it was time for an oil change. To manually reset it is quite simple: First, park the car and make sure the key is in the OFF position without starting the engine. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard—the one used to toggle the fuel consumption display. Next, gently turn the key to the ON position, but don’t press the accelerator to start the engine. After a few seconds, the wrench light will start flashing. Wait about five seconds until it turns off, then release the TRIP button. The whole process takes just a minute or two, and I’ve tried it a few times myself—it’s quite reliable. However, never ignore this light, as it’s a warning that part wear could affect safety. I recommend resetting it promptly after maintenance, otherwise, it’ll be unsettling to drive, and a breakdown on the road would be troublesome. Also, keep track of maintenance dates and check fluids every 5,000 kilometers or so.
