How to remove the wrench icon on JAC Refine S3?
3 Answers
There are three steps to remove the wrench icon on JAC Refine S3: 1. Press the start button once to power on without ignition, then press the SET button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel; 2. Next, press the SEL button on the right side of the steering wheel; 3. Finally, press the cancel button on the left side of the steering wheel to clear the icon. The wrench icon is a vehicle maintenance reminder light, indicating that your vehicle is approaching its scheduled maintenance time or mileage. Please try to follow the maintenance schedule in the manual. After maintenance is completed, the staff will clear the maintenance light, or you can clear it yourself. The maintenance reminder information can be reset after each maintenance, and you should proceed with maintenance when the next reminder appears.
I've been driving for over a decade, and the little wrench icon on the Ruifeng S3 is a common maintenance reminder. First, make sure the car is in the OFF state, open the door and sit inside, but don't step on the brake or start the engine. Then locate the ODO or TRIP button on the dashboard and hold it down. At the same time, turn the key to the ACC position (where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start), and keep holding the button for about 5 to 10 seconds until the wrench icon disappears before releasing it. If it doesn't work after a few tries, it might be a system issue or the maintenance hasn't been done, so you'll need to visit a 4S shop and have the technician reset it with a computer. Remember to do regular maintenance on time—this wrench is a reminder to change the oil or inspect parts. Ignoring it can lead to minor issues and affect safe driving. Personally, I think these features are quite thoughtful as the car ages, but it's not a major problem. You can handle it yourself to save the hassle of frequent trips to the repair shop.
I'm the kind of young guy who loves tinkering with cars, and I recently helped my dad clear that little wrench icon on his JAC Refine S3. The method is actually simple: First, don't start the car—just sit in the driver's seat, find the small button on the dashboard (usually called the trip reset button or something similar), press and hold it with one hand while turning the key to the ON position (don't start the engine) with the other. Count to about five seconds, and when you see the wrench icon blink and disappear, you're good to go. If it doesn't work, check if there's no maintenance record logged or if the battery voltage is too low and affecting it. I recommend regularly checking owner forums like Autohome—people share tips there, and some car models even have hidden menus accessible via button combinations for resetting. Remember, this is just a soft reminder for maintenance, so don't stress too much. If you really can't figure it out, just take it to a repair shop to avoid causing bigger issues.
