What does it mean when a car displays a wrench symbol?
1 Answers
A car displaying a wrench symbol is the manufacturer's way of reminding the owner that the vehicle requires maintenance, as they have set up a maintenance reminder function. Different car models from various companies have different preset maintenance intervals. The maintenance cycle is predetermined when the vehicle leaves the factory, so the small wrench symbol will appear after a certain mileage, typically every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers. However, the original factory setting may extend beyond 8,000 kilometers. Car maintenance primarily includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down deterioration, and extend the vehicle's lifespan.
