What does the car turtle basking in the sun indicate as a fault?

This issue generally occurs more frequently in trucks and commercial vehicles. When this indicator light is on, it indicates that the car is driving in a low gear. The following is an introduction to the car dashboard: Introduction to the dashboard: With the advancement of electronic technology and the emergence of new sensors and new electronic display components, car electronic dashboards have been rapidly adopted. Common indicators include the fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, and warning lights. Function of the dashboard: The car dashboard display is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems, allowing continuous monitoring of the car's status and providing the driver with necessary operational parameter information. It serves as an important interface for information exchange between the driver and the car.
I recently encountered the turtle icon warning light on my car's dashboard too. At first, I found it funny and thought it might be some new feature notification. After checking the manual, I learned it's actually a warning light for hybrid vehicles, indicating system issues that trigger automatic speed limitation to prevent further damage. Possible causes include battery pack overheating (just like the title mentioned - similar to sun exposure causing degraded battery performance in high temperatures), sensor false alarms, or poor circuit connections. In my case, it appeared after a long drive and disappeared after parking for half an hour before restarting. However, if the light persists, don't delay - immediately visit a professional repair shop as it might require major battery or cooling system repairs. By the way, this icon design is quite clever - the slow-moving turtle reminds us to drive cautiously with safety first! Regular maintenance can prevent many issues, especially for hybrids with their numerous electronic components.
