What does the wrench symbol on a car mean?
1 Answers
The wrench symbol on a car is a reminder for the owner to take the vehicle to a 4S shop for maintenance. Different car models from various manufacturers have different maintenance intervals, which should be based on the vehicle's user manual. After maintenance is completed, there is a reset procedure that requires the maintenance light to be reset to zero. If not reset, the indicator light will remain on even after maintenance has been performed. The maintenance cycle is preset when the vehicle leaves the factory, so the small wrench symbol will appear at certain mileage intervals to remind the driver to perform timely maintenance. Typically, the maintenance cycle is every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers driven, with the factory-set interval often exceeding 8,000 kilometers.
