2 Answers
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.
