What does the exclamation mark on the Lavida dashboard mean?
1 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are four possible scenarios: general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance, components, or functions have malfunctioned. 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 is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on when the car's 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 is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses, which represents a brake system warning. This could indicate a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents.
