What does it mean when the circle P light is on?

p light on indicates the parking brake, in the working state means the handbrake is in the braking position, not released properly. The parking brake refers to the manual brake installed on the vehicle, used to stabilize the car after it has stopped, preventing accidents caused by the car rolling when parked on the road. The common handbrake is usually located at the position where the driver's right hand hangs down. The exclamation mark on the dashboard can be divided into three situations: 1. An exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets: The brake friction pads are damaged, or there is a lack of brake fluid. The solution is to release the parking brake and check if the brake fluid is insufficient. If the light remains on, go to a repair shop to replace the brake friction pads. 2. An exclamation mark inside a triangle: There is a fault with the external lights. The solution is to check if the lights are faulty. If there is no fault and the light remains on, it is recommended to go to a repair shop for maintenance. 3. An exclamation mark inside yellow brackets: There is a problem with the tire pressure of a certain tire. The solution is to observe whether the wheel is punctured or leaking. If not, drive at low speed to find an auto repair shop, beauty shop, or roadside car wash, as these places usually have air pumps to inflate the car. Then observe the dashboard condition again. If the warning light still does not go off, you need to find the settings in the vehicle's central console and perform another tire pressure detection. The light will go off after normal detection.
