Solution for the wrench symbol display on Mercedes-Benz smart: 1. Turn on the ignition; 2. On the multifunction display of the instrument panel, there is a maintenance indicator, which is the odometer adjustment button. Press this button multiple times consecutively within four seconds, pressing quickly—usually twice—to access the maintenance countdown screen; 3. Within 10 seconds, turn off the ignition. At this time, the screen will still display the countdown numbers and the wrench symbol; 4. Hold down the maintenance indicator on the instrument panel while turning on the ignition, moving the switch from O to 1; 5. Continue holding the button for about 10 seconds until it starts flashing, then wait further. The countdown and wrench symbol will disappear, indicating the maintenance indicator has been reset; 6. Release the button and turn off the ignition. The Mercedes-Benz smart is a product of the collaboration between Germany's Mercedes-Benz and Swiss watch giant Swatch. The 's' in the name represents Swatch, 'm' stands for Mercedes-Benz, and 'art' signifies the artistic nature of their collaboration.

I encountered the same situation a few days ago while driving my Mercedes-Benz Smart. Suddenly, the little wrench icon popped up on the dashboard, clearly reminding me it was time for maintenance. Here's how I resolved it: First, get in the car, press the brake pedal, and press the ignition button to power on the system without starting the engine. Then, use the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch to the vehicle settings option. Scroll through to find the service information section, enter it, select maintenance reset, and confirm. The whole process takes just two minutes. If you forget how to do it, there are always illustrated instructions in the user manual, which is stored in the armrest box. Regular maintenance not only clears the icon but also makes the engine run smoother, saving fuel and giving peace of mind. Doing it yourself can save some money, but going to the 4S shop is also convenient.

What is the normal tire pressure for a Chevrolet Malibu?

The normal tire pressure range for a Chevrolet Malibu is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Malibu does not come with a tire pressure monitoring system from the factory. It is recommended to purchase a tire pressure gauge, locate the original tire pressure label position, press the gauge onto the tire valve to measure and read the pressure, and remember to replace the valve cap after checking. Additionally, a tire pressure monitoring system can be installed. Generally, a tire pressure above 2.8 bar is considered too high, and below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflation: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflation: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in all parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible causes: Abnormal tire pressure. Typically, it will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are needed. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to stay on. Simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will activate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.

How many kilometers can a non-full-size spare tire be driven?

It is best not to exceed 160 kilometers with a non-full-size spare tire. Non-full-size spare tires usually have speed limit markings. When driving on highways, do not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, and the usage time of the spare tire should not be too long, not exceeding two hours. Relevant information about non-full-size spare tires is as follows: 1. A non-full-size spare tire refers to a spare tire that is slightly smaller in diameter and narrower in width than the regular tires. 2. The spare tire has different speed ratings and load indexes compared to the four normal tires of the vehicle and cannot be used as a replacement. The spare tire is only for temporary use.

Can a Temporary License Plate Be Used for Interprovincial Travel?

There are generally two types of temporary license plates. The one with "blue background, black characters, and black borders" is only valid for travel within the province.
