Here are the steps to reset the maintenance wrench on the 2020 Honda CR-V: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and insert the ignition key into the 4-slot below the tachometer to reset. 2. Press and hold the button below the instrument panel on the right side of the steering column for 3 seconds to complete the reset operation. 3. Hold down the SELECT and RESET buttons on the right side of the combination meter, turn on the ignition switch, release the buttons after 10 seconds, and the reset is complete. The Dongfeng Honda CR-V is a multi-functional leisure vehicle that adopts leading technical levels, features high safety performance driving modes, and uses a real-time four-wheel-drive system. The new CR-V has undergone a comprehensive upgrade of its engine and transmission, adding a 2.4L displacement model, while its emissions also meet the Euro 4 standard.
I've also encountered that maintenance wrench reminder on my CR-V. It's actually that little wrench icon on the dashboard telling you it's time for service. To reset it, the method is quite simple: First insert the key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine—that's the position where all the lights come on. Then, locate the TRIP button on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel and hold it down. After 5 to 10 seconds when the display starts flashing or you hear beeping sounds, release the button and the wrench reminder will disappear. The whole process takes less than a minute, but make absolutely sure you've completed the maintenance before doing this, otherwise the reminder might mislead you. Regularly resetting it helps maintain the accuracy of the system alerts, preventing you from missing the actual time when oil or filters need changing. Honda designed this feature for owner safety—don't take it lightly, as it genuinely reminds you when to change the oil. Personally, I make it a habit to manually reset it after every service. Developing this routine helps keep your car running longer and gives you greater peace of mind.
