Methods to remove the smart wrench icon: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, i.e., turn it from position 0 to 1; 2. Locate the maintenance indicator on the multifunction display of the instrument panel, and press this button multiple times consecutively within four seconds; 3. Turn off the ignition switch within 10 seconds while the maintenance countdown numbers and wrench icon are still displayed on the screen; 4. Hold down the maintenance indicator on the instrument panel, which is the odometer adjustment button, and simultaneously turn on the ignition switch, moving it from position 0 to 1; 5. Continue holding the button for about 10 seconds until it starts flashing, then wait further until the countdown and wrench icon disappear; 6. Release the button and turn off the ignition switch.
The little wrench icon on my car kept lighting up a while ago, which was really annoying. Later, I figured out how to turn it off. Usually, this means your car needs maintenance, like an oil change or something. If you don’t address it, the reminder will keep popping up. The method to reset it is pretty simple. For a Smart car, you generally need to do this: After turning off the engine, rotate the key to the second position—where the electronics are on but the engine isn’t started—then press and hold the trip reset button on the dashboard for about ten seconds. The wrench light will blink or disappear. Once successful, restart the car to check. Remember, this only temporarily turns off the reminder—it doesn’t mean the maintenance is done. You should still go to a professional shop for a full check-up as soon as possible to avoid engine issues and ensure driving safety. I recommend regularly checking your vehicle’s manual, as methods may vary slightly for different models. Don’t force it—safety first.
