What Does the Circle Exclamation Mark in a Car Mean?
1 Answers
Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses), this represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a braking system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating a braking system fault, all other exclamation marks in a car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a general performance or component and function fault in the car. Mainly includes parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or faults, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating a fault in the car's lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible, or you can check by yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, interior lighting, etc., to see where the problem lies.
