What does the small wrench symbol on the XRV dashboard mean?
2 Answers
The appearance of the wrench symbol indicates that the vehicle is due for maintenance. Below is relevant information about the Honda XRV: 1. Exterior: The Dongfeng Honda XRV is the second model derived from the Honda CONCEPT V and shares the same platform as the GAC Honda Vezel. Its overall design exudes a strong sense of dynamism and is very stylish, perfectly catering to the tastes of young people. In terms of dimensions, the XRV measures 4275/1770/1605mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm, identical to that of the GAC Honda Vezel. 2. Powertrain: The new vehicle offers a choice between a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5L Earth Dreams engine. The former delivers a maximum power of 136Ps. The transmission options include a 6-speed manual gearbox or a CVT transmission.
I've been driving for over a decade and know dashboard icons like the back of my hand. That little wrench symbol on the XRV is actually a maintenance reminder light—it comes on when your car needs routine service. Most Honda models have this system that automatically calculates service intervals based on mileage or time, like needing an oil change and air filter check around 5,000 kilometers. Just last week, I saw the wrench light flash while driving and immediately took it to the dealership. The technician found the oil level was too low, replaced it, and reset the icon—you just hold down the steering wheel button for a few seconds while starting the car. But honestly, beginners shouldn't tinker with it; leave it to the pros. Staying on top of maintenance makes your car last longer, especially in winter when engines are prone to issues. Delaying repairs can double the costs, which just isn't worth it.
