The formation of oil film on car glass may be caused by vehicle exhaust, oil smoke pollution, or contamination from insect remains, bird droppings, resin, jam, etc. Vehicle exhaust contains various pollutants emitted due to incomplete combustion. Frequent traffic congestion in urban areas, especially when driving behind trucks, inevitably leads to these pollutants adhering to the car glass, forming an oil film. Methods to deal with glass oil film: Regularly apply a coating on the glass. There is no need to go to a specialized beauty salon for glass coating; you can buy a coating agent yourself, wash the car, then spray it on the glass and wipe it dry with a cloth. Coated glass can prevent the formation of oil film, and water droplets will quickly slide off the glass, ensuring that visibility is not affected during rainy days.

What does the exclamation mark mean in a BMW?

The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard that feature an exclamation mark, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a general performance or component and function fault in the car. Main issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Abnormality: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or check by yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the warning lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two different colors, yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the corresponding repair point for maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards in time. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. If this occurs, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and call for professional assistance to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety caused by forced driving. It should be noted that when the car is started, all lights will turn on, and the system will perform an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights will turn off automatically. If a light does not turn on when the ignition is switched on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for inspection to eliminate potential safety hazards.
