The method to reset the wrench light on Lavida is: 1. Turn off the engine, rotate the odometer reset handle on the dashboard counterclockwise by one notch and hold it; 2. Turn the car key to start the engine, then release the adjustment handle after starting to let it automatically reset. Taking the 2021 Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The 2021 Lavida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, and maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving my Lavida for almost ten years, and encountering the little wrench warning is a common occurrence. The reset method is quite simple: first, turn the key to the OFF position (engine off), then locate the small button on the instrument panel—usually the trip reset or SET button—and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position (dashboard lights on but don't start the engine). After a few seconds, the wrench symbol should disappear or show a reset success message. I recommend doing this immediately after maintenance to avoid forgetting the next oil change interval. Always pay attention to this warning while driving, as ignoring it can lead to engine issues. My neighbor once forgot to reset it, delayed an oil change, and ended up spending hundreds on repairs. Regular maintenance is the real way to save hassle and money while extending your car's lifespan.

As a newbie to my own Lavida, I was really nervous when I saw the little wrench light for the first time. A friend taught me a trick: After turning off the engine, sit in the driver's seat and hold down the 'set' button on the left side of the steering wheel without releasing. Then turn the key to the ACC position to illuminate the dashboard, wait until the wrench light goes off or the dashboard displays new information before letting go. It took me two tries to get it right, but it was quite easy, almost like solving a puzzle in a game. The little wrench is actually a reminder that maintenance is due. After resetting it, the system will calculate the next reminder time to prevent you from forgetting to change the oil or filter. I also noticed that button positions might vary slightly depending on the model year, so you can check the manual to confirm. After maintaining this habit, my car runs smoother and fuel consumption has stabilized. No need to stress too much in daily use—just master the method.

When driving out with kids, safety comes first. Don't ignore the wrench light. I've learned the reset steps: turn off the engine, press the mileage button, turn the key to ON position and watch the dashboard changes. If the wrench disappears, it's successful. This process is quick and effortless, and it automatically sets the next maintenance reminder date after resetting. For a family car, regular resets have many benefits, preventing engine failures or breakdowns on the road. I remember last month on a rainy day after resetting, the engine sound became quieter, and I saved on repair costs too. Always perform this operation promptly after each maintenance to keep the car in good health - that's what matters most.
