What does the exclamation mark on the Roewe i5 dashboard mean?
3 Answers
There are three scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the Roewe i5 dashboard: 1. A triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle indicates a general fault warning light; 2. A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle is the brake system warning light; 3. A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle is the tire pressure monitoring warning light. The Roewe i5 is a high-performance internet-connected compact car under the Roewe brand. In terms of power, the Roewe i5 1.5L Linghao upgrade series is equipped with a 1.5L DVVT high-efficiency engine, paired with a CVT high-performance continuously variable transmission. Regarding body dimensions, the Roewe i5 1.5L Linghao upgrade series measures 4601mm in length, 1818mm in width, and 1489mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm, making it a four-door, five-seater sedan.
When driving my Roewe i5, that exclamation mark on the dashboard is really annoying—it usually indicates a vehicle warning or fault alert. Common causes include issues with the tire pressure monitoring system, where tire pressure might be too low or too high, posing a risk of leaks; or problems with the braking system, like insufficient brake fluid; it could also be an engine-related alert, such as excessively high coolant temperature. The small screen next to the dashboard should display a specific error code—take a closer look to pinpoint which part is malfunctioning. It’s best not to delay; once it lights up, pull over to check tire pressure or brake fluid levels to avoid incidents like a blowout while driving. Regular maintenance can reduce such warnings—for example, checking tire pressure monthly is very effective.
I'm quite concerned about vehicle safety, so I always take the exclamation mark on the dashboard as a first warning. This symbol generally indicates potential hazards. In the Roewe i5, it often signals abnormal tire pressure or brake system failure. For example, last time when my i5 displayed this warning light, it turned out the tire pressure had dropped to a critical level, which I only confirmed after pulling over safely. Ignoring it could lead to loss of control at high speeds and cause injuries. I recommend developing a habit of keeping a tire pressure gauge in the car—test immediately when the light comes on, or visit a professional shop for scanning and diagnosis to ensure safe family trips. Safety is no trivial matter; delaying action might cost you more in the long run.
