What does the exclamation mark on the Honda URV dashboard indicate?
1 Answers
The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard that 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 Faults: 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 failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. 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 transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses: This represents a brake system warning, typically 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 an exclamation mark inside parentheses: This is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the 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 malfunction in one of the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Alternatively, you can check yourself, 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 fault 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 serious. Reduce speed and proceed to a repair facility to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious problem 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. 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 repair to eliminate safety hazards.
