3 Answers
To remove the wrench icon (maintenance reminder) on the JAC Refine S3, follow these steps: 1. When the maintenance light illuminates, first press the start button to power on the vehicle without ignition; 2. Press the SET button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel, then press the SEL button on the right side; 3. Finally, press the cancel button on the left side of the steering wheel to clear the maintenance reminder. The JAC Refine S3 is a new urban compact SUV produced by JAC Motors, with exterior dimensions of 4345mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1640mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2560mm. It is equipped with a 4GB1.5L engine, delivering a rated power of 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 146 N·m.
Last time I drove my JAC Refine S3, I also encountered the small wrench symbol popping up on the dashboard. Actually, resetting it is super simple. First, don't start the car. Press and hold the TRIP button below the dashboard, then with your other hand turn the key to the ON position without igniting the engine. The dashboard will then start a 5-second countdown. Once the countdown finishes, the wrench symbol will disappear. If it doesn't work, you probably did it too quickly—just try again more slowly. It's basically like unlocking a code for your car, designed to prevent owners from forgetting maintenance. After clearing the reminder, driving feels much more refreshing, but don't actually forget to do the required maintenance!
I'm very familiar with dealing with the wrench light, as many car owners have asked about it. Simply put, there are three methods: Most people use the button method—hold down the TRIP button while turning on the ignition and wait for the countdown. If you have an OBD scanner handy, it's more professional—plug it in and select the maintenance light reset in the special functions menu. The least sophisticated method is to disconnect the negative battery terminal for five minutes. The button method requires precise timing—doing it too early or too late won't work. This icon is a maintenance reminder designed by the manufacturer. Personally, I think resetting it occasionally is no big deal, but you still need to change the oil when it's due—don't gamble with your engine.
