What does it mean when the exclamation mark light flashes in the Passat Lingyu?
1 Answers
When an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are 5 possible scenarios: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, brake system failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting malfunction. Below is a detailed analysis of these 5 situations: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the problem. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission failure warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Failure: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, typically indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Malfunction: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting malfunction indicator, signaling a fault in the car's lighting system. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.
