An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates a malfunction in the vehicle'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. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in vehicles. Besides the exclamation mark inside a triangle, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: an exclamation mark inside a yellow gear, an exclamation mark inside a red circle with brackets, an exclamation mark with a horizontal line below brackets, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: An exclamation mark inside a yellow gear is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or low transmission fluid. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: An exclamation mark inside a circled bracket represents a brake system warning, typically indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below brackets 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 fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunctioning vehicle light. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of hybrid vehicles?

Advantages of hybrid vehicles: 1. No need to change driving habits; 2. High fuel efficiency with superior driving performance; 3. Reduced mechanical noise inside the vehicle; 4. Better power output compared to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles of the same displacement. Disadvantages of hybrid vehicles: 1. Higher price; 2. Not fuel-efficient during prolonged high-speed or constant-speed driving. Hybrid vehicles, also known as composite power vehicles, are equipped with more than one power source: storage batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, or generator sets of internal combustion engines. Currently, composite power vehicles generally refer to those combining an internal combustion engine generator with storage batteries.

How often should the Leiling air filter be replaced?

According to the car's maintenance manual, it is generally recommended to replace the air filter every 15,000 kilometers or 9 months. The location of the air filter varies depending on the intake form and engine structure. There are two types of air filters in cars: dry and wet. Dry filters are made of paper or organic materials, while wet filters are made of metal mesh. Function of the air filter: To filter out particulate impurities in the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinders, and preventing floating dust from being sucked into the engine, which could accelerate the wear of piston assemblies and cylinders. Air filter: It is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, cars, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms. During operation, the engine sucks in a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust in the air will be sucked into the cylinders, accelerating the wear of piston assemblies and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, especially in dry and sandy working environments. The air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. Dirty air filter: Using an excessively dirty air filter while driving can cause insufficient engine intake, incomplete fuel combustion, leading to unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to keep the air filter clean. The car air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or several air-cleaning filter components. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities from the air entering the cylinders to reduce early wear of the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Thus, before air enters the cylinders, it must pass through the fine filtration of the air filter. A dirty air filter can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air filter, if the dust accumulation is minimal and the blockage is light, it can be cleaned by blowing compressed air from the inside out and reused. Excessively dirty air filters should be replaced promptly.

What are the differences between dry clutches and wet clutches?

The differences between dry clutches and wet clutches are as follows: 1. The classification basis for dry clutches and wet clutches is different: Dry clutches and wet clutches are distinguished based on dual-clutch transmissions. Dual-clutch transmissions are currently the most popular type of transmission. The structure of this transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, but it has two sets of clutches that control the odd and even gears separately. 2. The clutch plates of dry clutches and wet clutches are different: The clutch plates of dry clutches are not immersed in transmission oil, and the clutch plates of this type of transmission rely on air passing through the chassis for cooling. The clutch plates of wet clutch transmissions are immersed in transmission oil, and the clutch plates of this type of transmission rely on the transmission oil for cooling.

What is a CVT Transmission?

CVT transmission is a type of automatic transmission, commonly known as a continuously variable transmission. Its working principle is: transmitting the engine power through a steel belt and the grooves of two pulleys, from the primary pulley to the secondary pulley, and then through the main reducer to the drive wheels, achieving power transmission. Common automatic transmissions include AT transmission, CVT transmission, AMT transmission, DCT transmission, etc. Except for CVT transmission, other transmissions have real gears, while CVT transmission does not have real gears. When starting and accelerating with uniform throttle application, observe the tachometer needle. For transmission models with real gears, the needle shows obvious upshift actions, while the CVT transmission continuously and slowly increases the RPM or maintains a certain RPM.
