There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general faults, automatic transmission faults, brake system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General Faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a fault 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 failure, 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 is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a problem with the transmission or that the transmission fluid is below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below the parentheses is the tire pressure monitoring warning light. It 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 is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the car's lights. 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 lights to identify the issue.

The Lavida displays an exclamation mark on the dashboard, which I've encountered several times, indicating an issue with a certain system. The most common scenario is the brake warning light coming on, possibly because the handbrake isn't fully released or there's insufficient brake fluid. If it lights up while driving, immediately slow down and pull over to check—don't push through, as it poses significant safety risks. Tire pressure issues can also trigger the exclamation mark, indicating a fault in the tire pressure monitoring system. I once experienced this due to a slow tire leak. Additionally, minor engine or transmission problems can illuminate the light. Stop promptly to check the dashboard's specific warning or consult the manual, or else more expensive parts could be damaged. If the light stays on consistently, it's best to visit a professional shop for a diagnostic scan—DIY attempts might lead to misjudgment and delays. Safety first, my friend.

What is the reason for the malfunction of the multifunction steering wheel buttons on the Baojun?

Baojun multifunction steering wheel buttons malfunction may be caused by unstable working performance of the spiral cable under the steering wheel, resulting in a poor connection fault, or it may be due to button damage causing the buttons to malfunction. Baojun multifunction steering wheel buttons malfunction: Baojun multifunction steering wheel buttons malfunction may be caused by unstable working performance of the spiral cable under the steering wheel, resulting in a poor connection fault, or it may be due to button damage causing the buttons to malfunction. The specific reason can only be determined by inspection at a repair shop to find a solution. Solution: Since the multifunction steering wheel buttons are connected by the airbag slip ring circuit, the electrical control unit will store corresponding fault codes. It is recommended that professional maintenance personnel eliminate the fault based on the fault information. It is recommended to check whether the steering wheel control module is faulty.

What happens if you don't take the test within 15 days after accumulating 12 penalty points?

Generally speaking, if you fail to attend the required training, the traffic management department can only announce the suspension of your driver's license. At this point, you cannot drive a motor vehicle; otherwise, you will be treated as driving without a license. Only after completing the training and passing the exam can you retrieve your driver's license. Below is an introduction to what happens when your driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points: 1. How to handle 12 penalty points on your driver's license: Whether your license is penalized with 12 points at once or accumulates to 12 points, your driver's license will be temporarily confiscated by the traffic police. 2. The driver must, within 15 days: Attend a seven-day training on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the license was issued or where the violation occurred. 3. After completing the training: The vehicle management office will schedule an exam (i.e., the subject one test) within 20 days. If you pass the exam, the penalty points will be cleared, and your driver's license will naturally be returned to you.

What does it mean when the brake light comes on while driving?

When the brake light comes on while driving, it may indicate a fault in the braking system. However, there could also be other reasons for the brake light to illuminate. Braking system faults: If the brake warning light comes on while driving, remain calm and try to reduce your speed gradually. Then, pull over to a safe location as soon as possible to inspect the vehicle. Check if the brake fluid is low - if it is, look for possible leaks. Examine the wear level of the brake pads. Verify if the parking brake switch is properly released. It's recommended to use a diagnostic scanner for a quick and accurate identification of the fault, then systematically investigate the cause. Other causes: There are other factors that can trigger the brake system warning light, such as false alarms. When driving uphill or during hard braking, excessive slope or fluid agitation may cause the fluid level indicator to give false warnings. For such occasional alerts, simply adding an appropriate amount of brake fluid should suffice.

How to Change Transmission Fluid for Automatic Transmissions?

Detailed introduction on changing transmission fluid for automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. Two methods for changing transmission fluid in automatic transmission vehicles: Automatic transmission fluid change is achieved through gravity drainage and exchange machine methods. 2. Detailed explanation of gravity drainage method: (1) Traditional gravity drainage: Utilizes the natural gravity of ATF fluid for drainage. (2) Advantages of gravity drainage: Uses less new fluid, making it relatively cost-effective. (3) Disadvantages of gravity drainage: Manual static drainage cannot completely remove all old fluid, only draining the fluid from the oil pan while leaving residual old fluid inside the transmission. 3. Detailed explanation of exchange machine method: (1) Dynamic exchange with machine: Uses an exchange machine to perform a circulating cleaning inside the transmission, removing old fluid and impurities. (2) Advantages of machine exchange: The intelligent exchange machine enables dynamic fluid change, filtering and circulating cleaning to remove sludge and impurities, ensuring a complete replacement of old fluid with new fluid in equal amounts. (3) Disadvantages of machine exchange: Requires more new fluid, resulting in higher costs for the fluid change.
