The wrench warning light is a maintenance reminder indicator, indicating that the vehicle has reached its scheduled maintenance period and needs to be serviced at a 4S shop. The steps to reset it are: 1. First, stop the vehicle and set the power mode to ON. 2. Then repeatedly press the "TRIP" button until the instrument panel displays the engine oil life information. 3. Finally, hold the "TRIP" button for more than 10 seconds. When the display starts flashing, it means it is in reset mode, and the small wrench can be reset. Below is an introduction to the small wrench in the tenth-generation Accord: 1. When the car has traveled a certain mileage and the remaining distance to the next maintenance is less than 1500 kilometers, the engine oil detection indicator light will start to come on, reminding the owner to perform maintenance checks. 2. When the engine oil detection indicator light comes on, other upcoming maintenance service items will also light up, displaying the small wrench icon. After completing the maintenance service, the small wrench icon can be reset.

I've encountered the Accord wrench light coming on several times. This thing is actually a maintenance reminder light, not a big deal, so don't panic. It mainly means your car is due for regular maintenance, like an oil change or checking the filters. Honda set this up to help us track the maintenance schedule. I suggest you first check the owner's manual for the maintenance intervals, which are usually based on mileage. Then, make an appointment with a repair shop or dealership as soon as possible to get your car checked. The technician will change the oil, inspect the tires and brake system, and after the service, they'll reset that light—otherwise, it'll keep flashing. Ignoring it could lead to faster engine wear, increased fuel consumption, and in the long run, affect the car's lifespan. So don't delay, pay attention to your driving habits, and regular maintenance will keep you safe and worry-free.

What are the effects of water in diesel on the engine?

Here are the effects of water in diesel on the engine: 1. Small amount: If there is only a small amount of water in the diesel, the engine can still start, and it won't have much impact. 2. Large amount: If there is a significant amount of water, the engine cannot start, affecting idle stability and acceleration capability, primarily causing engine damage. Below is additional information on the topic: 1. Non-volatile: Water does not evaporate because its density is higher than diesel, causing it to sink to the bottom. The only solution is to drain the fuel tank, clean it thoroughly, and refill with fresh diesel before restarting the engine. 2. Wrong fuel: Adding gasoline instead of diesel is also problematic. Diesel engines have a compression ratio more than twice that of gasoline engines, and their main components endure much higher temperatures, pressures, and impacts than gasoline engines. Therefore, some parts are made of different materials.

What are the regulations for overtaking?

Here are the regulations for overtaking: 1. Motor vehicles driving in the same lane: The rear vehicle should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front to allow for emergency braking. Overtaking is not allowed under the following circumstances: the vehicle in front is turning left, making a U-turn, or overtaking; there is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle; the vehicle in front is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency duties. 2. Turn on the turn signal: When overtaking, the motor vehicle should turn on the left turn signal in advance and switch between high and low beams or sound the horn. On roads without a center line or with only one lane in the same direction, when the vehicle in front receives an overtaking signal from the rear vehicle, it should reduce speed and move to the right to give way if conditions permit. The rear vehicle should overtake from the left side of the vehicle in front after confirming a sufficient safe distance, and after establishing the necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane.
