Red exclamation mark (specifically in the form of an exclamation mark inside a circle), this represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a malfunction in the braking system or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating braking system issues, all other exclamation marks on a car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance or components and functions. This mainly includes parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or faults, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. 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 fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below a bracket. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's 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 fault in the car'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.

What materials are used to make car brake pads?

Car brake pads are made of the following materials: 1. Resin-based brake materials; 2. Powder metallurgy brake materials; 3. Carbon-carbon composite brake materials; 4. Ceramic-based brake materials. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Their working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into frictional heat energy through the friction between the brake pads and brake drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Reasons for brake failure include: 1. Impurities in the master cylinder or poor sealing; 2. Failure of the vacuum booster pump; 3. Dirty brake fluid; 4. Oil leakage from the master cylinder or wheel cylinder; 5. Air leakage from the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 6. Severe overloading; 7. Carbonization of the brake drum; 8. Insufficient brake fluid in the master cylinder; 9. Wear of the master cylinder piston.

Why is the engine very hot but the water temperature is normal?

Reasons for the engine being very hot while the water temperature is normal: 1. Insufficient engine coolant; 2. Faulty water temperature sensor or gauge; 3. Driving with tailwind or prolonged low-speed high-load driving in hot seasons; 4. Ignition timing too early or too late; 5. The louver cannot fully open; 6. Overly lean or rich air-fuel mixture; 7. Severe dirt on the exterior or scale buildup inside the radiator, leading to poor heat dissipation, necessitating radiator cleaning or replacement. When the car engine radiator temperature is too high, you should pull over to a safe area, set up a warning sign, open the engine hood, turn off the engine, and then wait for a period until the engine's water temperature has sufficiently dropped before checking the engine's coolant level.
