Solution for the wrench icon appearing on the Accord display: Visit a maintenance center for vehicle servicing. After maintenance, the wrench icon can be removed through specific operations. Below is an introduction to the Accord: 1. Exterior: The new model features Honda's signature winged front grille design, paired with LED headlights with a smart high-low beam switching system. The elongated front nose design with a blackened mesh grille gives the front a bold and aggressive look. 2. Powertrain: Equipped with the globally efficient third-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system, delivering robust performance with a motor torque of up to 315N.m and an ultra-low fuel consumption of 4.0L/100Km. The new model adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear E-type multi-link independent suspension, with an L-shaped aluminum lower arm in the front suspension to reduce road vibration and noise transmission.
I've been driving an Accord for several years, and every time I see that little wrench icon on the dashboard, it reminds me that it's time for maintenance. This is usually the system telling you that the engine oil needs to be changed or it's time for a routine check. The safest approach is to immediately check the owner's manual to confirm the maintenance interval, then head to a 4S shop or auto repair shop—they'll help you reset the icon. I've also tried doing it myself: turn off the ignition, hold the trip reset button for a few seconds, and it disappears. Don't delay this, because timely maintenance can prevent major issues like engine wear. Driving habits, such as frequent short trips in heavy traffic, can also bring maintenance forward. I've developed a habit of checking every 5,000 kilometers to keep the car in good condition and ensure smoother driving.
When I first saw the little wrench icon after buying my Accord, I was a bit confused and thought something was wrong with the car. Later, a friend told me it was just a maintenance reminder, as simple as a phone's charging alert. Now when it appears, I first check the user manual to see what specific maintenance is required. If unsure, I take it to the shop for the mechanic to check, or I reset it myself: after turning off the engine, hold the settings button on the dashboard for about ten seconds, and the icon disappears. For safety, don't ignore it for too long, as that could lead to performance issues affecting driving. I've also gotten into the habit of recording maintenance times, which is more convenient and gives peace of mind. After each maintenance, the car always feels smoother to drive.
