A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction in the vehicle. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common warning symbol in vehicles. Apart from the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: 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 scenarios: Automatic transmission malfunction: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside indicates an automatic transmission fault warning light, signaling a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system malfunction: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, indicating either a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the vehicle's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting malfunction: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark indicates a lighting fault warning light, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible, or conduct a self-inspection focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

Why is the downgraded driver's license C1M?

When a driver's license is downgraded, it is mostly downgraded to C1 because currently, C1 can be used for life as long as physical conditions permit. However, it often becomes C1M because the driver's license includes the additional M-class vehicle type, and there is no further downgrade for the M-class, so it naturally remains attached. The C1M license can be considered a combination of the C1 and M licenses. The C1M license essentially adds the M-class vehicle type to the C1 driver's license. Among them, the C1 license covers small cars, while the M-class license covers wheeled self-propelled machinery. C1: Small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, and three-wheeled vehicles; small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; small passenger vehicles with seating capacity of 9 or fewer people. M: Automobiles, tire cranes, road rollers, tractors, harvesters, and specialized construction machinery, etc.
