A yellow exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car'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 Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a brake system warning, indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Abnormality: A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle. This is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a malfunction in one of the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or check yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the fault lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors: yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the nearest repair point to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In this case, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and seek professional assistance to prevent unpredictable risks to the vehicle and personal safety. Note that when the car is started, all lights will illuminate for a system self-check and will turn off automatically after the check is completed. If a light does not turn on when the ignition is switched on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly to inspect and eliminate potential safety hazards.

What tires does the CS75 use?

CS75 uses Yokohama tires, a world-renowned tire brand originating from Yokohama, Japan. Here is some information about Yokohama: 1. Yokohama has developed tire design technology that reduces air resistance during vehicle operation. This technology, as a new environmentally friendly method to decrease tire rolling resistance, improves the airflow around the tire during vehicle operation, thereby achieving fuel-saving environmental benefits. 2. The Changan CS75 has three tire size specifications: 225/65R17, 225/60R18, and 225/55R19, distributed across different trim levels. Taking 225/65R17 as an example, the parameters specifically mean: the maximum width of the tire cross-section is 225 millimeters, the aspect ratio (the height of the cross-section as a percentage of the maximum width) is 65%, and the inner diameter of the tire is 17 inches. 3. The choice of tire width and aspect ratio for the CS75 is very appropriate. On one hand, the 225-millimeter width ensures stable handling and excellent braking performance while providing good acceleration and more economical fuel consumption, with tire noise also kept within a comfortable range. The combination of aspect ratios and tire sizes across different models achieves a good balance between comfort, off-road capability, and handling, offering excellent adaptability whether on city roads or complex off-road conditions.

When were China III vehicles produced?

China III vehicles generally refer to cars produced between 2007 and 2011. Below is relevant information about the China III standard: 1. The so-called China III standard refers to China's third-stage vehicle emission standard. 2. The national third-stage emission standard is equivalent to the European Euro III emission standard, meaning the content of tailpipe pollutants is equivalent to that of Euro III. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics system. 3. The On-Board Diagnostics system features an increased number of detection points and detection systems, with oxygen sensors installed at both the inlet and outlet of the three-way catalytic converter. Compliance is entirely controlled through real-time monitoring of vehicle emissions, ensuring stricter enforcement of the Euro III emission standard. 4. For motor vehicle pollutant emissions to stably meet the China III emission standard, vehicles must be equipped with technical measures that ensure emissions comply with the China III standard, while also using fuel that meets the Euro III standard.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on a Honda CR-V?

Tire pressure warning reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "beep" sound, release the button. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure warning reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually triggers a warning when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the old data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, such as by hitting a curb, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

How many kilometers should the transmission fluid of a general automatic transmission car be replaced?

There is no unified standard for the replacement of transmission fluid. Generally, automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, while manual transmission fluid is usually replaced every 40,000-60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the life of the transmission device. The methods for replacing transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Gravity replacement. The principle is the same as changing engine oil. Loosen the bolt of the oil pan and let the transmission fluid flow out by gravity. This method is the simplest, but it cannot completely drain the transmission fluid, mainly because there are dead corners such as depressions and pits in the mechanical structure. 2. Circulation machine replacement. New transmission fluid is added to the circulation machine, which is connected to the oil circuit interface of the transmission. Under hydraulic pressure, the new fluid pushes out the old fluid. This method cleans the oil circuit more thoroughly. The more new transmission fluid used, the cleaner the cleaning. A single circulation machine replacement requires about 10-13 liters of transmission fluid. The replacement time is approximately 40-80 minutes. 3. Oil pan removal replacement. This method is a root cleaning method and can also clean the oil filter. Since the disassembly process requires excessive manpower, 4S shops generally do not do this.

How to Adjust Wheel Camber Angle?

Four-wheel alignment camber angle requires professional instrument calibration. It is recommended to adjust at a 4S shop. The camber angle varies for different vehicles. Below is an example using the Porsche Cayenne, with the camber angle adjustment method as follows: 1. Use a four-wheel alignment machine to check all data and adjust according to the vehicle's standards. 2. Use the target wheel of the alignment machine to detect wheel data. 3. Adjust the toe adjustment nut. If the data shows red, it needs adjustment. Adjust directly to the standard green display data. 4. Adjust the front wheel camber angle bolt. If the data shows red, it needs adjustment. Adjust directly to the standard green display data. 5. Adjust the left rear camber angle bolt. If the data shows red, it needs adjustment. Adjust directly to the standard green display data. 6. Adjust the right rear wheel camber angle bolt. If the data shows red, it needs adjustment. Adjust directly to the standard green display value. Effects of incorrect wheel camber angle on the vehicle: 1. Excessive positive camber angle can cause unilateral wear on the outer side of the tire; accelerated wear of suspension system components; the vehicle will drift towards the side with a larger positive camber angle. 2. Excessive negative camber angle can cause unilateral wear on the inner side of the tire; accelerated wear of suspension system components; the vehicle will drift towards the side with a smaller negative camber angle.
