When an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are five possible scenarios: general faults, automatic transmission faults, brake system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General Faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. 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 a problem with the transmission or that the transmission fluid level is below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Faults: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, typically indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to prevent accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle is the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the 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 a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

How to Adjust Power-Adjustable Mirrors?

Power-adjustable mirror adjustment method: Sit in the driver's seat and locate the electric mirror adjustment button on the left door. Observe the white dot on the adjustment knob and the letters beside it. 'L' stands for the left rearview mirror, and 'R' stands for the right rearview mirror. To adjust the mirror angle, rotate the white dot on the adjustment knob to the corresponding letter position. The position adjustment of the power-adjustable mirrors is achieved through micro motors. The left-right movement of the mirror is controlled by one motor, while the front-back tilt is controlled by another motor. The control switch for the power-adjustable mirrors can be moved in multiple directions, allowing one motor to operate or both motors to work simultaneously. In most cases, pressing the switch lever downward adjusts the mirror's left-right movement, while lifting the switch lever upward adjusts the front-back tilt angle.

What causes the refrigerant leakage in the Mercedes-Benz R350 air conditioning system?

Refrigerant leakage occurs due to the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, where the refrigerant in the system's pipelines is under certain pressure. Common locations of refrigerant leakage: Refrigerants commonly used in vapor-compression refrigeration include R12 and R134a. Due to the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant in the sealed pipelines is under pressure, which can lead to leaks. Common leakage points include the condenser, evaporator, charging port seal core, pipeline connection seals, or the air conditioning pump itself. The most direct method to locate leaks: Disassemble the entire air conditioning system, connect it below, pressurize it, and submerge it in water to observe where bubbles emerge. Another method is using fluorescent dye for leak detection: add specialized fluorescent dye to the refrigerant oil, operate the system for a few days, and then use specialized glasses to observe where the fluorescent dye leaks, indicating the leak point. Air conditioning leaks are complex faults, and the disassembly process is intricate, requiring patience.
