An exclamation mark inside a sun symbol represents the lighting system malfunction indicator. Below are relevant details: Lighting system malfunction indicator illumination: When this light turns on, it indicates a failure in the exterior light bulbs. Vehicle owners should promptly visit a repair shop for diagnosis to identify the cause of the issue and replace the corresponding components. Typically, this occurs either due to the bulbs reaching their service life or wiring faults in the lighting system. Precautions to prevent lighting system damage: Avoid submerging lights in water. While driving, water splashing from the front generally doesn't affect the lights. However, during car washing when opening the hood to clean the engine and lights, water can easily enter the light assemblies. Any water ingress should be promptly dried and cleaned.

When I see the warning light with an exclamation mark in the middle of a sun symbol, I immediately think it might be a tire pressure issue, as I've encountered this several times during my years of driving. This light is usually a yellow indicator, shaped like a tire with an exclamation mark in the center, indicating that the TPMS system has detected low pressure. Possible causes include a tire puncture, pressure drop due to cold weather, or a sensor malfunction. If the light comes on, I recommend pulling over immediately and using a pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure. The normal range is between 200-300 kPa, but you should refer to your vehicle's manual for specifics. Ignoring it can lead to unstable driving, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, a blowout causing an accident. I've developed a habit of checking tire pressure every two weeks at gas stations as a preventive measure. If the light remains on despite normal pressure, visit a professional repair shop to inspect the sensors. Safety first—never delay addressing this issue.

Not long after I bought my new car, I saw this warning light flashing - it looked like a sun with an exclamation mark in the middle, which really made me nervous. Later I learned it was the tire pressure warning light, indicating abnormal tire pressure. Common causes include slow leaks, aging tire valves, or pressure drops after expansion and cooling in hot weather. When the light comes on, I find a safe place to stop and use a simple pressure gauge to check which tire is below standard. If not addressed promptly, it can lead to bumpy rides, higher fuel consumption, and even premature tire wear. I've developed the habit of paying extra attention during seasonal changes - for example, adding air when tire pressure tends to drop in winter. If you can't fix it yourself or the light keeps coming on, I recommend going to a 4S shop for a thorough check, as it involves driving safety.

My experience tells me that the light with an exclamation mark in the sun is the tire pressure warning, indicating low pressure or a malfunction. It usually lights up yellow, meaning you should check the tires as soon as possible. Reasons include weather changes, slow leaks, or sensor issues. When I encounter it, I first stop to measure the pressure, with the standard being 200-300kPa. If not repaired, it may affect handling safety. Timely action can save trouble.

What are the differences between BYD Tang DMp and DMi?

BYD Tang DMp and DMi differ in the following aspects: 1. Feature Overview: DMi focuses on front-wheel-drive fuel-efficient vehicles, while DMp targets four-wheel-drive performance vehicles. 2. Charging Status: DMp does not support fast charging, with a range of 80 kilometers and a battery capacity of 22.3 kWh. Using a 7kW slow charging station takes 4-5 hours, while household charging may require 7-8 hours. DMi offers two range options: 52km and 112km, with battery capacities of 9.98 kWh and 21.5 kWh respectively. The base 52km version lacks fast charging, but due to its smaller battery capacity, commercial charging stations can fully charge it in 2-3 hours. The 112km version supports fast charging and can typically be fully charged within 1-2 hours.

Displacement: The displacement of a 1.5T engine is 1.5 liters; the displacement of a 2.0T engine is 2.0 liters. 2. Power: For the same brand and model, the 2.0T engine delivers stronger power compared to the 1.5T. 3. Road condition adaptability: The 1.5T performs better in daily city driving; the 2.0T excels in high-speed driving. On highways, the 2.0L engine consumes more fuel, while the 1.5T, with its smaller displacement and turbocharging, provides a noticeable power boost and naturally lower fuel consumption.

Why does the engine speed rise abnormally when the accelerator is pressed?

Because a dirty throttle position sensor or voltage imbalance can cause electronic throttle failure, resulting in the situation where the speed does not increase even when the accelerator is fully pressed. Below is a related introduction about throttle speed: 1. Cause: The reason is that the torque converter is not locked. The throttle controls the opening of the throttle valve, affecting the engine's air intake. After pressing the accelerator, the amount of fresh air entering increases, and the fuel injection amount controlled by the ECU also increases, thus the force generated by combustion increases, pushing the engine's operating speed to rise. 2. Principle: Pushing the engine's operating speed to increase. Under normal circumstances, when the engine speed, vehicle speed, and throttle depth reach a certain level, the torque converter will lock. Before it locks, it is easy to encounter the situation where pressing the accelerator results in the engine roaring but the car not moving.
