Common faults of sedans include engine failure to start, vehicle stalling when shifting gears, and steering wheel shaking while driving. If any of these faults occur, it is recommended that the owner promptly visit a 4S shop for troubleshooting and vehicle repair. Engine failure to start: Mainly check components such as the distributor, spark plugs, and high-voltage lines for moisture due to car exposure to rain or washing. Also, check whether the battery voltage is sufficient. The solution is to first turn off the vehicle, dry the damp parts, and then start the car; use connecting cables to temporarily connect to another vehicle's battery for power supply to start the vehicle. Vehicle stalling when shifting gears: The main reasons are low engine idle speed; the idle shut-off valve is not tightened, or the plug is loose. The solution is to adjust the gear to the correct idle speed according to the vehicle's condition; if the idle shut-off valve or the connecting plug is loose, simply reinsert it. Steering wheel shaking while driving: The main reasons are mud, stones, or other debris stuck on the vehicle's tires; tire deformation due to impact or loss of wheel balance weights; failure to perform a four-wheel alignment after tire replacement. The solution is to remove stones from the tire treads and debris stuck on the wheels. To avoid safety hazards, deformed tires should be replaced promptly, and balance weights should be installed at the nearest auto repair shop. A professional auto repair shop should be sought for a four-wheel alignment to avoid safety hazards.

What does the triangle exclamation mark on the car mean?

A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's regular performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle 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 anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates 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 is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can inspect it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting, to identify the issue.

Is the first maintenance only available at the original car-buying 4S store?

The first maintenance does not have to be done at the original car-buying 4S store. Nowadays, it is a nationwide warranty, and any manufacturer-authorized 4S store can perform the maintenance. The first maintenance is free, and you only need to bring the maintenance manual and driving license. For the first maintenance of the car, three items need to be replaced: the first is the car's engine oil, the second is the car's oil filter, and the third is the car's air filter. Not all car models have the same first maintenance mileage. Some models stipulate three months or 3,000 kilometers, whichever comes first; others are six months or 6,000 kilometers, whichever comes first; of course, there are also some models that require the first maintenance at 10,000 kilometers. If you do not go to the 4S store for the first maintenance when the mileage is reached, the first free maintenance can no longer be used.
