What does the wrench symbol in the car mean?
1 Answers
When the wrench symbol appears in your car, it serves as a reminder for the owner to perform vehicle maintenance, rather than indicating a malfunction. If the wrench indicator light illuminates while driving, it's necessary to promptly visit a 4S dealership for car maintenance to prevent potential breakdowns during operation. The maintenance interval is pre-set by the manufacturer at the time of vehicle production, so the small wrench symbol will appear after certain mileage intervals to remind the driver to perform timely maintenance. Typically, the recommended maintenance cycle ranges between 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers, though factory settings often extend beyond 8,000 kilometers. Due to variations in vehicle models, the designed mileage intervals may differ. You can find specific reference intervals in your car's maintenance manual.
