What does the exclamation mark mean in a BYD car?
1 Answers
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, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of 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 cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to 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 that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a warning for the brake system, 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 horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up 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. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a fault in the car'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 lights, to identify the issue. In addition, during daily vehicle use, the warning lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors, yellow and red, indicating different levels of severity: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system that is not very severe. Reduce speed and proceed to a repair point to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious issue in the corresponding system. If this occurs, do not continue driving. Pull over safely and seek professional assistance immediately to prevent unpredictable risks to the vehicle and personal safety. It is important to note that when the car is started, all lights will illuminate as the system performs an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights 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 to inspect the car and eliminate safety hazards.
