What does the exclamation mark in Volkswagen cruise control mean?
1 Answers
There are five 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 scenarios: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside 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, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission faults: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or low transmission fluid level. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system faults: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses represents a brake system warning, typically indicating brake system failure 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, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting faults: 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.
