What does the exclamation mark next to the circle on the dashboard mean?

The exclamation mark next to the circle on the dashboard may be the brake system warning light. Possible reasons for it being illuminated include: 1. ABS function failure; 2. Severely worn brake pads that have become ineffective; 3. Brake fluid not meeting requirements. Abnormalities in the brake system may manifest as poor or failed braking, unilateral braking deviation, braking noise, brake drum overheating caused by brake drag, or parking brake failure. If the brake pedal gradually rises and feels spongy when pressed repeatedly, but remains low after a brief pause, this indicates air in the brake system, requiring brake system bleeding. If a single brake application is ineffective but braking improves with multiple pedal presses, this suggests excessive brake pedal free play or excessive brake clearance. Adjust the pedal free travel and inspect brake clearance, performing brake disassembly and repair if necessary.
