What does the exclamation mark on the dashboard of the Tiguan indicate?
1 Answers
There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, namely general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, brake system failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting system malfunction. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor malfunction, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the malfunction. Automatic transmission failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission failure warning light, indicating a malfunction in the transmission or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system failure: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal tire pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting system malfunction: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting malfunction indicator light, indicating a malfunction in the car's lighting system. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-inspection focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.
