What does an exclamation mark symbol mean?
2 Answers
An exclamation mark symbol is the brake system warning light in a car. The main reasons for it lighting up are as follows: 1. ABS function failure. 2. Severe brake pad wear, already ineffective. 3. Brake fluid does not meet requirements. Additional information: 1. There are three types of power steering systems in cars: electric power steering system, electro-hydraulic power steering system, and mechanical hydraulic power steering system. 2. The electric power steering system does not have hydraulic components. This type of power steering system relies on an electric motor to provide steering assistance. 3. The electro-hydraulic power steering system and mechanical hydraulic power steering system have hydraulic components. 4. The mechanical hydraulic power steering system simply adds a set of electronic components to the basic mechanical hydraulic power steering system.
I also encountered this exclamation mark when I first started driving. It usually lights up on the dashboard as a brake warning or tire pressure warning. If it's an exclamation mark inside a circle, it indicates there might be an issue with the braking system, such as insufficient brake fluid or worn brake pads. If it's an exclamation mark shaped like a tire, then the tire pressure is low. You need to be careful when this light comes on because the risk of brake failure is high. Last time I didn't deal with it promptly and almost had an accident. Pull over immediately and check the dashboard manual to confirm the specific cause. Don't continue driving—safety first. Regular maintenance is crucial. It's best to check tire pressure monthly and change brake fluid every six months to prevent such warnings from appearing, saving both money and hassle.
