There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, brake system failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting malfunction. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component/function failure in the vehicle. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff 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 problem. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or low transmission fluid level. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Failure: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, typically signaling brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle is 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 malfunction indicator, signaling a fault in one of the vehicle'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.

What to Check Before a Long-Distance Drive?

It's best to have a comprehensive inspection at a 4S shop before a long-distance drive: 1. Check if the engine oil level is within the normal range and whether it needs replacement. Also, inspect the coolant level and quality in the radiator. 2. Inspect the tires for any abnormalities: Pay attention to details such as the tire valve, sidewall cracks or damages, and ensure the spare tire's air pressure is normal. 3. Check if there are any faults in the electronic control system. 4. Inspect all vehicle lights to ensure they are functioning: high beam, low beam, brake lights, fog lights, width indicators, and turn signals. 5. Verify that all necessary tools are in the car: basic tools like knives, wrenches, pliers, and a jack should be present. It's advisable to carry a portable air pump, tow rope, and a gasoline canister. 6. Ensure the fuel tank has sufficient gasoline; don't wait until the fuel warning light comes on to look for a gas station. 7. Take regular breaks during long-distance drives. Stop at service areas approximately every 200 kilometers to rest. After parking, check the chassis for any leaks and inspect the tires for air loss. 8. Lastly, bring the vehicle's maintenance manual. In case of a malfunction, you can refer to the manual for contact information of 4S shops across different regions in the country to obtain technical support.

What are the steps for finding reference points when exiting a parallel parking space?

Steps for finding reference points when exiting a parallel parking space are as follows: 1. After hearing the voice prompt, press the clutch and brake, shift into 1st gear, turn on the left turn signal, and fully turn the steering wheel to the left. Slowly exit the parking space; when the right front corner of the hood aligns with the right roadside line (this is the first reference point), straighten the steering wheel and continue moving forward. 2. Continue moving forward. When the left one-third of the hood aligns with the yellow line (this is the second reference point), turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right; allow the vehicle to navigate around the corner of the parking space and exit. Once the car body is parallel with the road, straighten the steering wheel to the left and exit the parallel parking test area. During the process of exiting the parallel parking space, it is important to control the clutch properly—the speed should be slow, but the car should not stop midway. The timing of turning the steering wheel must be precise; otherwise, missing the correct timing can easily result in crossing the line.

How to Retake the Test After Losing All Driving License Points?

Here are the steps to retake the test after losing all driving license points: 1. Handle the traffic violations and pay all fines as soon as possible. Only then will the violation points be automatically cleared in the next scoring cycle. 2. Within 15 days, the driver must go to the traffic management department of the public security authority where the license was issued or where the violation occurred to participate in a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. 3. After completing the study session, the traffic management department will administer a test (i.e., Subject 1) within 20 days. 4. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driving license will be returned. Otherwise, the driver must continue studying and retaking the test. 5. If the driver refuses to participate in the study session or the test, the traffic management department will announce the suspension of their driving license. Additionally, if it is a Class A or B driving license, the process is not as simple as having the license withheld and passing Subject 1. The vehicle management office will revoke the highest permitted driving category qualification, and the driver must apply for a downgraded license within 30 days.
