What does a yellow exclamation mark on the dashboard mean?

A yellow exclamation mark on the dashboard indicates a vehicle malfunction, and the owner should promptly visit a repair shop or 4S store to identify the cause. Common reasons for the warning light to illuminate include: 1. Overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch; 2. Fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction; 3. Parking sensor failure; 4. External light malfunction or abnormal performance; 5. Engine oil pressure sensor failure; 6. Traction control system warning or malfunction. When the clutch overheats, this warning light will automatically illuminate, and the dashboard will display relevant information. In such cases, gear shifting must be restricted, and the usage environment should be altered to allow for cooling until normal conditions are restored.
I just encountered this situation two days ago! That yellow exclamation mark is the vehicle's universal warning light, indicating that there is a problem with a certain system that needs to be checked. There are quite a few common reasons: it lights up when the tire pressure is low, especially more likely in cold weather; abnormalities in the brake system, such as worn brake pads, can also trigger it; faults in the lighting system, like a burnt-out bulb, can cause this too; issues with the engine emission system can also trigger the yellow light. The safest approach is to pull over and check the manual for the trouble code, or go directly to a repair shop to use a diagnostic scanner to identify the problem.
