When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are four possible scenarios: general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that there is a fault with the car's general performance or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light faults, and engine oil pressure sensor faults. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Faults: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault with the transmission or the transmission fluid level is below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light will illuminate when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Faults: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling that there is a fault with one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the problem. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circle with a bracket, which represents a warning for the braking system. Common issues include braking system faults and low brake fluid levels. The braking system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents.

Last time when I was driving, a yellow exclamation mark warning light appeared on the dashboard. I immediately pulled over and checked the user manual, only to find out it indicated low tire pressure. I got out of the car and manually checked each tire by pressing them, discovering that the front right tire was slightly soft. After inflating it at a gas station, the warning light disappeared. From that incident, I learned never to ignore such warning lights as they might indicate tire issues or brake failures. Continuing to drive could lead to tire blowouts or brake failures. Now I've developed a habit of checking tire pressure weekly and even bought a small air pump to keep in the trunk. My advice is to always pull over and consult the manual first. If you can't handle it yourself, seek professional help at a repair shop. Safety comes before everything else - remember, this is not a minor issue.

Is there a time limit for vehicle mortgage release?

There is no specific time limit for handling the mortgage release procedures after repaying the vehicle loan. The timing is determined through mutual agreement between the vehicle owner and the pawnshop or bank. Once both parties agree on a time, they can proceed to the management office to complete the mortgage release procedures. Since materials such as the identity of the vehicle owner and the vehicle mortgage registration are required, both parties need to be present simultaneously. Generally, the required documents for mortgage release registration include: 1. "Motor Vehicle Mortgage/Pledge Registration Application Form"; 2. Proof of identity of the vehicle owner; 3. Proof of identity of the mortgagee; 4. Motor vehicle registration certificate; 5. Mortgage release notice from the mortgagee.

What is the difference between PU and TPU materials for car covers?

The difference between PU and TPU materials for car covers lies in their material properties. Here are the details: 1. PU: The material used is polyurethane. Compared to PVC material, its advantage is improved toughness; however, it has poor weather resistance, weak resistance to alkaline corrosion, tends to yellow over time, cannot be repaired, and has poor anti-stain performance. 2. TPU: The material used is thermoplastic polyurethane. Its advantages include excellent impact resistance, puncture resistance, and scratch resistance, stable thermal repair function, strong water repellency, superior anti-corrosion and stain resistance, high-temperature resistance, as well as low-temperature resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance. This material is recyclable and environmentally friendly. The downside is its complex manufacturing process and higher price.
