What does the exclamation mark inside the bracket-shaped warning light mean?
1 Answers
Red exclamation mark (specifically in the form of an exclamation mark inside a bracketed circle) indicates a warning for the braking system, mainly signaling either a malfunction in the braking system or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark representing braking system faults, all other exclamation marks on a car are yellow, indicating regular faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Regular Faults: An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates a fault in the car's general performance or components and functions. This could include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: An exclamation mark inside a yellow gear is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below a bracket represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's 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 fault in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.
