Method to remove the wrench icon on Chery Tiggo 5: 1. Locate the toggle button on the left side of the steering wheel; 2. Insert the vehicle key into the ignition slot and long-press the toggle button on the left side of the steering wheel; 3. Turn the key to the second position, the vehicle will power on and start self-checking, wait for the self-check to complete; 4. Restart the vehicle, and the wrench icon will be removed. The Chery Tiggo 5 is positioned as "a trustworthy family SUV" and is the first SUV model developed by Chery using international standard forward system processes. In terms of body dimensions, the Tiggo 5 measures 4506mm in length, 1841mm in width, 1740mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm.

Last time my Tiggo 5 showed a small wrench maintenance reminder, I personally tried the button reset method. After the car was completely turned off, I held down the 0.0 button on the right side of the dashboard without releasing it, then turned the key to power on. At this point, the dashboard numbers started flashing, and when I saw the small wrench icon disappear, I immediately released the button. The button position might vary slightly for different model years; I remember my neighbor's 2016 model had the button on the left side of the steering wheel. After completing the operation, it's best to start the vehicle to confirm the warning light has completely disappeared. If the button doesn't work, it might be necessary to visit a 4S shop to reset the module with a diagnostic tool. This method actually applies to clearing maintenance reminders for many domestic cars.

Turn off the engine and completely power down the vehicle. Locate the reset button with a small wrench symbol near the instrument cluster, usually next to the speedometer. Firmly press and hold the button with your finger while turning the key to the ignition-on position. The numbers on the instrument cluster screen will start flashing. After about ten seconds when you see the wrench symbol blink, immediately release the button. Then turn off the power, wait two minutes, and restart the vehicle. This will reset the onboard computer. I've personally tried this method three times with success.

Actually, the little wrench icon is caused by the memo function of the onboard computer. From my experience, disconnecting the negative battery terminal for five minutes to let the system completely lose memory will refresh the maintenance reminder when reconnected. However, this will reset all data, even the audio settings need to be readjusted. Another trick: quickly press the light adjustment button five times with the ignition on before starting the vehicle, some models can force clear it. The easiest way is still spending five minutes doing a button reset, no professional tools are needed at all.

Don't be scared by the little wrench icon, I fixed it myself in just a minute. Remember these three key steps: With the engine off, hold down the trip reset button while turning on the ignition, and keep pressing until the wrench symbol disappears. For more complex situations, check the dashboard reset section in your user manual. If DIY attempts fail, any roadside repair shop can clear it in 10 seconds using an OBD tool. After resetting, always drive for a while to confirm the warning doesn't reappear mid-drive.

After the last maintenance of my Tiggo 5, the technician taught me a trick: hold the menu button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel while turning on the ignition for fifteen seconds. Now, with newer models, you can also use a mobile app to connect to the vehicle's system and reset it remotely. Just remember, after clearing the maintenance light, don't delay the actual maintenance schedule. If it's time to change the oil three months later, make sure to go on time. These operations are essentially like restoring a phone to factory settings, fundamentally resetting the counter parameters in the vehicle's computer.
