An exclamation mark appearing on the car dashboard may indicate issues such as parking sensor failure, excessive brake pad wear, engine oil pressure sensor malfunction, or insufficient brake fluid. There are generally three types of exclamation mark warning lights on the car dashboard: 1. A triangle with an exclamation mark inside, indicating a general fault warning light; 2. A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark inside, signaling a brake system warning light; and a horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below, representing a tire pressure monitoring warning light. Conditions like overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, parking sensor failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor malfunction, or traction control system warnings can all cause the general fault warning light to illuminate.
