What does a triangle with an exclamation mark displayed on the car mean?

The reasons for the decrease in coolant are: 1. Leakage in the engine cooling system; 2. Thermal expansion and contraction; 3. Air retention in certain areas of the cooling system, which causes coolant levels to drop after some time of circulation when the air is expelled. When the water temperature is too high, a triangle with an exclamation mark displayed on the car indicates a vehicle malfunction. This light is also known as the general fault indicator. Other warning lights with exclamation marks in the car include: 1. A red circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses indicates the brake system warning light, which illuminates when the handbrake is engaged; 2. A yellow horizontal line with an exclamation mark below parentheses indicates the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which only lights up when the pressure in the four tires is unbalanced or too low; 3. An exclamation mark inside a yellow bulb indicates the lighting system fault indicator, which lights up when a bulb malfunctions; 4. An exclamation mark next to a red steering wheel indicates the power steering system fault indicator, which lights up when there is a malfunction or failure in the power steering system, such as a locked steering wheel. Driving issues may occur, and inspection and maintenance are required. Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, has antifreeze properties that prevent the coolant from freezing in cold weather, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block. Antifreeze is not only for winter use but should be used year-round. As part of regular vehicle maintenance, the engine antifreeze should be replaced every year.
