Warning light

I have notice a yellow warning light in the shape of a "wrench" on the left side of my dashboard after stopping the car. A re-start and shut-off got rid of this. I can't find the symbol in the manual...any ideas?

It needs service. When mine came on, the dealer said I had a bad valve. They changed it and I was back on the road in less than an hour.

It is time for your 10K service (20K, 30K...whichever you are at) Look at you manual for the service intervals. Visit you local smart center for service (Oil Change, and Check-up)

Since I only have 1600 miles, it's not a regular service interval. What was the valve that was bad?

I don't remember a yellow wrench. Is this a 451 or a 450?
The black wrench near the odometer is the service interval.
The yellow engine on the right is the check engine light.

Your user manual should have the dash lights detailed.
The 451 technical spec shows no yellow wrench on the instrument cluster.
