An exclamation mark next to the steering wheel is the electric power steering system warning light. If the indicator light stays on after the vehicle's ignition switch is turned on or during driving, it indicates a fault in the electric power steering system. You should promptly go to a repair shop for inspection and repair. If the yellow indicator light is on, it means that part of the steering system has failed, resulting in increased steering effort and difficulty in turning. If the red indicator light is on, it indicates a complete failure of the steering system, and the power steering assistance has been lost. The driver should slow down as soon as possible, park the vehicle safely, and arrange for repairs or wait for assistance. Under normal circumstances, when the vehicle's ignition switch is turned from OFF to ACC, the electric power steering system fault light will briefly illuminate for a self-check and will turn off if no issues are detected.
