How to Remove the Wrench Icon on the New Lingpai?

[VonIvan]

Method to remove the wrench icon on the new Lingpai: With the engine turned off, press and hold the short-distance counter reset button located below the tachometer. While holding the button, turn the car's ignition to the ON position, then release the short-distance counter reset button. At this point, the SERVICE indicator will appear on the car's dashboard. Next, turn off the engine and then power on the car again. The wrench icon on the dashboard will then disappear. The predecessor of the Lingpai is the ConpectC concept car launched by GAC Honda at the 2012 Guangzhou Auto Show. It is the first compact car introduced by GAC Honda and the second compact car under the Honda brand following the Civic. The dimensions of the car are 4650mm in length, 1750mm in width, and 1505mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. Except for the width, the overall size of the Lingpai is slightly larger than that of the Civic.

I also encountered this small wrench symbol when driving my Honda Lingpai. It's just a maintenance reminder icon, usually flashing in the middle of the dashboard. Removing it yourself is quite simple: First, sit in the driver's seat without starting the car, turn the key to the ON position (dashboard lights on but engine not started); then hold down the TRIP button for about 5 to 10 seconds, and the small wrench will blink a few times and disappear. I've tried it twice myself, and it worked smoothly both times. The usual maintenance cycle is every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, and after resetting, it will recalculate. If it doesn't work, don't panic—it might just be inaccurate button operation. I suggest trying again or driving directly to the 4S shop; they can fix it in a minute. Safety first, after all. Don't forget that regular maintenance is good for your car, and checking the oil and filters can extend the engine's lifespan.

As a long-time owner of the Lingpai, I'm quite familiar with this little wrench symbol. It's a maintenance countdown reminder, and the way to remove it is by manually resetting: turn off the engine, keep the key in the OFF position; then hold down the reset button on the dashboard without releasing, while turning the key to the ON position, wait until the icon flashes before letting go of the button. My wife also drives a Lingpai, and she always forgets these steps, so she just takes it to the repair shop. Actually, doing it yourself is convenient and saves money, but if you're a beginner and afraid of making mistakes, you can check the manual or search for videos online. Maintenance intervals are very important, generally changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers, which helps save on fuel consumption. Ignoring the wrench symbol doesn't affect driving, but over time, accumulated issues can make repairs more difficult.

I've been using the new Lingpai for over half a year, and the wrench symbol appeared then got removed. The method is quite straightforward: turn the key to the ACC position (steering wheel unlocked but engine not started), press and hold the RESET or TRIP button on the dashboard for about 10 seconds, and the wrench will flash then disappear. This operation originates from the maintenance reset system, and if the model has a touchscreen, it can also be accessed from the menu. Don't worry about the difficulty being low—I solved it in just a minute. The wrench reminder is for maintenance including oil and filter changes, and delaying it may cause engine wear. The manual has detailed instructions, and if all else fails, you can schedule a free service at the 4S store.
