How to Reset the Wrench Light on Chery Arrizo 5?
2 Answers
The "small wrench" that appears on the dashboard of the Chery Arrizo 5 is a maintenance indicator, reminding the driver that the vehicle needs timely maintenance. If maintenance is not completed, this light will remain on. The method to reset this indicator is as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch; 2. Press and hold the adjustment rod at the lower right of the dashboard without releasing; 3. Turn on the ignition switch, rotating it to the "ON" position; 4. After approximately 5 seconds of the ignition switch being on, the maintenance indicator light will turn off, and you can then release the adjustment rod. After vehicle maintenance, it is essential to reset the maintenance counter; otherwise, you won't be able to accurately track the usage time of new parts during the next replacement.
I also encountered the wrench light issue with my own Arrizo 5. The reset method is quite straightforward: First, turn the key to the OFF position to shut off the engine. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the instrument panel without releasing it, turn the key to the ON position but don't start the engine, keep holding for about five to six seconds until the wrench light on the dashboard flashes and disappears. This light serves as a reminder for scheduled maintenance—Arrizo 5 typically requires an oil change inspection every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. While this DIY procedure is simple and convenient, if the light reappears after resetting or if maintenance is overdue, the system may require a professional reset. It's advisable to visit a 4S shop promptly for expert diagnosis to prevent minor issues from escalating. Regular maintenance extends your car's lifespan and prevents roadside breakdowns. After each maintenance session, my wrench light resets properly, giving me greater peace of mind while driving.
