What Does the Exclamation Mark Mean on the Changan CS75 Plus?

[DeNoah]

When an exclamation mark appears on the car's dashboard, it can indicate one of five possible issues: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, brake system failure, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting malfunction. Below is a detailed analysis of these five scenarios: General Malfunction: An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates a fault with the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission issue or low transmission fluid level. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Failure: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses represents a brake system warning, typically signaling a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection and repair of the brake system are necessary to prevent accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line beneath parentheses indicates the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Malfunction: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunctioning car 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 lighting to identify the issue.

I saw an exclamation mark on the dashboard of my Changan CS75 Plus, and I was a bit panicked when I first encountered it. Later, after checking some information, I realized it indicates a warning light is on. The most common issue is low tire pressure—after parking, check if the tires are flat or use a mobile app to connect to the tire pressure monitoring system to check the data. It could also be a brake system malfunction, such as worn brake pads or insufficient brake fluid, which needs immediate attention to avoid potential brake failure. When the engine fault light is also on, engine issues might trigger the exclamation mark—it's best not to drive too far and find a safe place to pull over. From my own experience, I first try turning the car off and restarting it. If the light remains on, I head to a repair shop for inspection to prevent small issues from becoming big problems. Regular maintenance of sensors can help prevent such issues in advance.

After driving the CS75 Plus for a long time, I've seen quite a few exclamation mark warnings, mostly for low tire pressure or brake system abnormalities. When encountering this, don't push through—pull over to check the tire condition. Sometimes, adding a bit of air can solve the problem. If the brake warning appears, test the feedback by pressing the brake pedal. If it feels soft or there are unusual noises, stop driving immediately and head to a repair shop. Electronic systems like ABS can also trigger the exclamation mark if there's an issue, which can affect safe turning. I've found that regular checks of tire pressure and brake fluid can reduce risks. Always address warnings promptly—safe driving is the top priority.

The exclamation mark on the CS75 Plus dashboard usually indicates a fault warning, such as low tire pressure or abnormal engine system. When parked, check if the tires are leaking or measure the tire pressure, and inflate if it's low. If it's related to the engine warning, check if the oil or coolant is insufficient and needs to be replenished or adjusted. Electronic sensors sometimes give false alarms, and restarting the car may clear it, but if it persists, don't ignore it to avoid risks during high-speed driving. Keep up with car maintenance to prevent common issues.
