There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, brake system failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting system failure. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General malfunction: An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission issue or low transmission fluid level. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system failure: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses 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: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses indicates the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting system failure: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Alternatively, you can inspect the lights yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

How are tolls charged for vehicles with temporary license plates on highways?

Temporary license plates and regular license plates are charged the same toll on highways. Precautions for using temporary license plates are as follows: 1. Validity period of temporary license plates: Temporary license plates have a certain validity period, which can be 15 days, 30 days, or 90 days. For temporary driving across administrative jurisdictions, the validity period of the temporary plate does not exceed 30 days. When using temporary license plates, it is important to avoid expiration. If a temporary license plate expires, you need to reapply for a new one. Each vehicle can apply for temporary license plates up to 3 times. 2. Running red lights and illegal parking will also be penalized: Whether driving on highways or in urban areas, temporary license plates have the same legal effect as regular license plates. If a traffic violation occurs, penalties will be imposed, especially for running red lights, which will result in a 6-point deduction if caught on camera. It is advised that drivers do not attempt such violations. 3. Penalties for expired plates: If a temporary license plate is found to be expired, the penalty is a 12-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. Therefore, drivers using temporary license plates should be cautious.

What does the READY indicator on the Corolla Hybrid dashboard mean?

The READY indicator on the Corolla Hybrid dashboard means that the vehicle has completed all preparations and has successfully started, indicating it is ready to drive at any time. Both electric vehicles and hybrid new energy vehicles display this startup status in the same way. Since new energy vehicles do not produce engine noise after starting, it can be difficult to determine whether the vehicle has started successfully. Hence, the READY indicator is used to inform the driver. Below is some relevant information about the Corolla Hybrid dashboard display: 1. The dashboard of the new Corolla Hybrid is relatively simple, featuring a traditional analog gauge design with a color LCD screen in the center. This screen provides functions such as an energy monitor, tire pressure monitoring, and standard trip information. Additionally, there is a blue decorative light above it. The left gauge displays the vehicle's status. 2. The dashboard is almost identical to that of other hybrid models, with only slight adjustments to the backlight color. The left gauge shows the power output mode, while the right one is the speedometer. However, the hybrid version does not support adjusting the dashboard backlight brightness.

Will traffic police check if halogen lights are replaced with LED lights?

Traffic police will check if halogen lights are replaced with LED lights. According to China's "Road Traffic Safety Law," no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter its registered structure, construction, or characteristics without authorization. Below is an introduction to halogen lights and LED lights: 1. Halogen lights: Halogen lights are incandescent bulbs filled with inert gas to extend the filament's lifespan. The light emission of halogen lights involves three physical processes: electrical energy—thermal energy—light energy, resulting in relatively high energy consumption. Halogen lights emit yellow light; they have strong penetration, are relatively inexpensive, and are easy to replace. However, their disadvantages include low brightness and a relatively short lifespan. 2. LED lights: LED lights can directly emit red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, orange, purple, white, and other colors of light. Also known as light-emitting diodes, LED lights can convert electrical energy directly into light energy with an energy conversion efficiency of up to 90%. White light is typically used in vehicles. LED lights offer high brightness, versatile design options, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, long lifespan, and compact size. However, their disadvantages include weaker penetration compared to halogen lights and complex technology leading to higher costs.

Does Car Air Conditioning Heating Consume More Fuel?

Car air conditioning heating does not consume more fuel because it has a simple structure without additional equipment. The heating function of the air conditioning system utilizes the heat generated by the engine operation, which is then circulated through the coolant to dissipate heat and brought into the cabin. There is a small radiator inside the dashboard, and at this point, turning on the blower will provide warm air. Additional Information: 1. During the cold start phase of the engine, when the engine coolant temperature has not yet reached the optimal operating range, the fuel system increases fuel injection to raise the idle speed, accelerating engine operation to bring the coolant temperature up to the proper range for optimal performance. 2. If the heating system is turned on at this stage, the insufficient coolant temperature will not achieve the desired warm air effect. The vehicle's system will further increase fuel injection to raise the idle speed and assist in warming up the engine. Therefore, turning on the heater during a cold start or driving at low speeds for an extended period after starting the engine is actually a fuel-intensive practice.

What is the normal pressure for a car air conditioning system?

The normal high pressure for a car air conditioning system should be 1.3-1.7MPa (13-17kg/cm2 or 190-250Lbf/in2); the normal low pressure should be between 0.15-0.25MPa (1.5-2.5kg/cm2 or 20-35Lbf/in2). Details are as follows: 1. Function of the air conditioning: The car air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the vehicle. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces driver fatigue, and enhances driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators for assessing whether a car is fully equipped. 2. Avoid turning on the air conditioning immediately: In summer, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is significant. When entering the car, it is not advisable to set the air conditioning to a very low temperature immediately. Instead, use high airflow with natural wind to dissipate the heat inside the cabin first. Then, do not close all the windows completely; turn on the air conditioning and wait until your body gradually adapts before adjusting the air conditioning to the desired temperature and closing the windows. This way, your body won't experience discomfort due to the sudden drop in external temperature.
