An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's regular 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 failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Besides the exclamation mark inside a triangle, there are four other forms of exclamation mark indicators: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the vehicle's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

Different energy consumption: LED lights consume less energy, whereas halogen lights consume more. 3. Different brightness: LED lights are brighter than halogen lights. 4. Different color temperatures: LED lights offer various color temperature options, while halogen lights have only one. Relevant introductions about halogen headlights and LED lights are as follows: 1. LED headlights, also known as automotive headlamps, are lighting fixtures configured to illuminate the road ahead for nighttime driving and are symmetrically installed on both sides of the front end of the vehicle. 2. Halogen headlights are a new generation of incandescent lamps, which are tungsten lamps filled with halogen elements such as bromine or iodine, or their compounds.

How to Use the S Mode in Golf?

S gear is the sport mode of the car (S stands for Sport). In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time. This allows the car to travel at low gear and high RPM for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. While the car is moving, simply push the gear lever into the S position. It is typically used for climbing slopes and rapid overtaking. Below is an introduction to other gear positions: 1. P (Parking gear). When parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted into the P position. 2. R (Reverse gear). Shift into R gear when the car needs to reverse. 3. N (Neutral gear). The N position is equivalent to neutral and can be used when starting the car, parking without leaving the vehicle, or during towing. 4. D (Drive gear). Place the gear lever in the D position for normal driving, and the car will automatically shift between forward gears. The D gear is the most commonly used gear position.

What Type of Engine Oil is Suitable for the Arrizo 5?

The suitable engine oil model for the Arrizo 5 is 5W-30. Below are the precautions for adding engine oil to the Arrizo 5: 1. Choose engine oil based on the engine's requirements: It is unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements. 2. Try to choose multi-grade oil: Multi-grade oil is economical, long-lasting, and efficient, providing better protection for the engine. Due to the characteristics of multi-grade oil, it may appear darker earlier or have lower oil pressure compared to regular oil, which is normal. 3. Some domestic brand engine oils are of quite good quality and are much cheaper than imported counterparts, so they can be used with confidence. There is no need to blindly pursue 'foreign oil.' 4. If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, use oil with lower viscosity to ensure smooth oil flow. In high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, using higher-viscosity oil helps form an oil film and reduce engine wear.
