There are five situations when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, namely general faults, automatic transmission faults, brake system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. The following is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the general performance or components and functions of 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 faults: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced in time. Brake system faults: An exclamation mark in the middle of a circle with brackets. This represents a warning of the brake system, mainly including brake system faults and low brake fluid level. The brake system needs to be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal tire pressure: An exclamation mark in the middle of a horizontal line under brackets. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the tire pressure of the car is too low, this warning light will light up. It is necessary to check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting faults: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating that there is a fault in the car lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on checking commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem is.

What does a non-opening panoramic sunroof mean?

A non-opening panoramic sunroof refers to a large glass panel on the car roof that cannot be opened for ventilation. Vehicles equipped with this type of sunroof feature an expansive glass surface, but it remains fixed and cannot be opened to allow airflow. Some cars come with non-opening panoramic sunroofs, which enhance interior brightness but do not provide ventilation. Below are some maintenance tips for sunroofs: Avoid overusing the sunroof: Although the sunroof is part of the car's window system, its mechanical structure differs from that of side windows and doors, making it more delicate. Therefore, it should not be used excessively. Do not open the sunroof immediately in cold weather during winter: In northern regions where winters are extremely cold, the edges of the sunroof may freeze overnight due to dew, making it temporarily inoperable. In such cases, drivers should avoid attempting to open the sunroof right away, as accumulated snow in the sunroof tracks can increase resistance. Forcing the sunroof open under these conditions may damage the motor.

Presence of sand or foreign objects between the brake pads and discs: During normal driving, it is inevitable to encounter some complex road conditions.
