The exclamation mark inside a triangle is the "General Fault Indicator Light", which may indicate issues such as dry dual-clutch transmission clutch overheating, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, parking sensor failure, exterior light bulb failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, traction control system warning or malfunction, etc. There are various warning or indicator lights with exclamation marks on the dashboard. The eight common types include: handbrake warning light, brake system fault warning light, steering system fault warning light, abnormal tire pressure warning light, lighting system fault warning light, transmission fault warning light, wiper fault warning light, and general fault indicator light. If an indicator light with an exclamation mark illuminates on the dashboard, it signifies an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding vehicle component. This should not be taken lightly, and the root cause should be identified and addressed promptly.

How many types of tire models are there for the Audi Q5?

The Audi Q5 has two tire specifications: 235/55-R19 and 255/45-R20. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Typically installed on metal rims, they support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning capabilities. Additionally, they need to exhibit high wear resistance, flex resistance, and low rolling resistance with minimal heat generation. Here are some details about the Audi Q5: 1. The Audi Q5 adopts the previous generation of Audi's family design, featuring an inverted trapezoidal grille with large rectangular grids and relatively square-shaped headlights. The overall body lines are predominantly smooth yet exude a strong sense of power, with a dignified and stable design that is more widely accepted. 2. The center console is tilted toward the driver's side, accommodating a wider range of driver operations. The functional areas are neatly organized and clearly laid out, with buttons and knobs offering premium tactile feedback. In terms of features, the Audi Q5 provides comprehensive safety and comfort equipment. 3. For passive safety, it includes full-size airbags and front-seat side airbags (with head airbags). For active safety, it is equipped with systems such as lateral driving assistance, hill-start assist, and hill descent control to enhance driving safety.

What is the probability of being caught when going straight in a left-turn lane?

Going straight in a left-turn lane has a high probability of being caught. Driving straight in a left-turn lane will be recorded. Below are the specific penalty regulations for going straight in a left-turn lane: 1. Going straight when both left-turn and straight signals are green: Penalized for not driving in the designated direction, resulting in a fine and 2-point deduction. 2. Going straight when the straight signal is green but the left-turn signal is red: Typically treated as running a red light, resulting in a fine and 6-point deduction. Below is extended information about running a red light: 1. Three photos as evidence: To determine if a vehicle has run a red light, three photos are used as evidence. These photos are taken before the vehicle crosses the stop line, after crossing the stop line, and upon entering the intersection. The photo of entering the intersection clearly shows whether the vehicle forcibly passed through during a red light. 2. Definition: Running a red light refers to the behavior of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to drive. 3. Precautions: When approaching an intersection, slow down in advance to create distance from large vehicles, allowing time and space to observe traffic signals. If you have already crossed the stop line, do not reverse, as it not only increases the risk of collision with vehicles or pedestrians behind but also may be recorded by electronic surveillance due to the displacement.

What's the reason for failing facial recognition during the driver's license test?

Facial recognition failure may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Photo discrepancy: The difference between the base photo and the on-site photo is too large, such as age differences. 2. Makeup: For female candidates, factors like wearing makeup, glasses with black frames, or having straight bangs may affect recognition. 3. Poor lighting: The verification environment may have insufficient lighting. 4. Side profile: During the recognition process, make sure to face the device directly, avoiding side angles or tilting your head up/down. Avoiding these issues should ensure successful recognition.

What Causes Heavy Black Smoke from the Engine?

Heavy black smoke from the engine can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Clogged air intake: A blocked air intake fails to provide sufficient air during combustion, leading to incomplete combustion and resulting in black smoke from the engine. 2. Insufficient compression: Inadequate compression prevents the required pressure from meeting combustion demands, worsening combustion conditions and causing the engine to emit black smoke. 3. Changes in combustion environment: Long-term use of the engine and other factors can alter the shape and volume of the combustion chamber, further degrading the quality of air-fuel mixture. Poor mixture formation and deteriorating combustion conditions can produce black smoke.
