The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. Many indicator lights on the car dashboard feature an exclamation mark, such as the tire pressure indicator light, lighting fault indicator light, steering system fault indicator light, braking system fault light, transmission fault indicator light, and windshield wiper fault indicator light. Below is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light faults, and engine oil pressure sensor faults. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection, where professionals can identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Solution: The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Although it can be replaced independently, it is not recommended. It is better to have a professional replace the transmission fluid according to the specific vehicle. Braking System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark inside. This represents a braking system warning, mainly indicating a fault in the braking system or low brake fluid level. Solution: First, check if the handbrake is released. If the warning light remains on after releasing the handbrake, drive slowly to a repair shop for professional inspection. Tire Pressure Abnormality: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Solution: If you have a tire pressure gauge, you can check it yourself. Otherwise, visit a 4S shop for inspection to restore the tire pressure to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating a fault in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible. You can also check yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the warning lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors: yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the nearest repair point to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In this case, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and seek professional help to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety. It is important to note that when the car is started, all lights will illuminate for an automatic system check. After the check is completed, they will turn off automatically. If a light does not illuminate when the ignition is turned on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for inspection and elimination of safety hazards.
