When a car's warning light displays a steering wheel with an exclamation mark, it indicates an issue with the electric power steering system. If the light turns on after the ignition is switched on or while driving, it signifies a malfunction in the electric power steering system. There are two scenarios for this warning light: 1. If the light stays on continuously, it means the electric power steering system has a complete failure, and the vehicle should be taken to a repair shop to inspect and replace faulty components. 2. If the light briefly turns on for five to ten minutes and then goes off, this is typically caused by overheating of the electric power steering motor. In this case, the system enters an overheating protection mode, reducing or temporarily stopping motor assistance until the temperature drops and normal function resumes.

What does ESP stand for in English?

In English, ESP is the abbreviation for Electronic Stability Program, which is a vehicle's electronic stability control system. The function of the ESP system is to monitor the driving state of the car and prevent the vehicle from deviating from the ideal trajectory when understeer or oversteer occurs during emergency obstacle avoidance or turning. ESP integrates three systems: the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist System (BAS), and Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR). It can be said that ESP is a functional extension based on these two systems rather than existing as an independent configuration. ESP aims to improve the vehicle's handling performance while effectively preventing the car from losing control when it reaches its dynamic limits. ESP can enhance the safety and handling of the vehicle.

Car glass is an essential component of a vehicle's body accessories, primarily serving a protective function. There are three main types of car glass: laminated glass, tempered glass, and zone-tempered glass, all of which can withstand significant impact. Car glass is categorized by its location on the vehicle into four types: windshield, side windows, rear windshield, and sunroof glass.
