What does an exclamation mark on a car dashboard mean?

[McBeau]

An exclamation mark on a car dashboard indicates a fault in a certain part of the vehicle. There are three types of exclamation marks: an exclamation mark inside a triangle, an exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets, and an exclamation mark inside an oval cylinder. When the exclamation mark inside a triangle lights up, it may indicate: 1. Overheating of the dual-clutch transmission; 2. A fault in the fuel cutoff system; 3. A sensor malfunction; 4. An external light failure; 5. Engine oil pressure issues; 6. A fault in the traction control system. Solution: In most cases, the triangle lighting up indicates a fault in the traction control system. The owner can simply turn off the power control system. If the light remains on, the car should be taken to a repair shop for inspection as soon as possible.
