What does the wrench symbol mean when it appears on a new car?
1 Answers
When a wrench symbol appears on a new car, it indicates that the vehicle requires maintenance. This maintenance reminder is part of the car's built-in maintenance alert system. After each maintenance service, both the mileage and time for the next maintenance are reset. Once the set mileage is reached again, the maintenance reminder will appear on the dashboard. Vehicles equipped with an onboard computer will display a text message, while those without will only show a small wrench symbol. Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. The purpose is to maintain the car's appearance, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down deterioration, and extend the vehicle's service life.
