What Does the Exclamation Mark in the Middle of a Gear Mean?
1 Answers
The exclamation mark in the middle of a gear is the transmission system warning light, commonly found in automatic transmissions such as AMT, AT, DCT, and CVT. Manual transmission vehicles generally do not have this fault indicator. Depending on the severity of the fault, the color of the transmission system warning light may vary. Minor issues typically trigger a yellow light, while more serious problems result in a red light. When the transmission system warning light appears, it indicates an abnormality in the transmission system. You should immediately stop the vehicle, turn off the engine, and contact a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop for assistance from experts. There are many possible reasons for this warning light, such as excessive transmission temperature or issues with the transmission control unit. For example, frequent gear shifts during prolonged high-speed driving can easily trigger the fault light alarm.
