What Does the Circle Exclamation Mark on the Car Dashboard Indicate?
1 Answers
Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses) indicates a warning for the braking system, primarily signaling either a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to prevent accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating brake system issues, other exclamation marks on the car dashboard are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission issues, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting system faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it 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, engine oil pressure sensor malfunction, etc. It is necessary to visit 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 transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid 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 illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Alternatively, you can conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the problematic area.
