There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general fault, automatic transmission fault, brake system fault, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting fault. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction in the car. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. 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 fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses represents a brake system warning, typically indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection and repair of the brake system are required to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses is the tire pressure monitoring warning light. It 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 is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the car 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 lights to identify the issue.

Can the car still be driven if the mudguard falls off?

Yes, you can drive it, but you should go to an auto repair shop to replace it. The mudguard can effectively protect the car body and prevent scratches. As the name suggests, the car mudguard is used to block mud. It is installed behind the four tires of the car. The front two are fixed on the left and right lower sills, and the rear two are fixed on the rear bumper (this is the case for most models). Below are the specific details about car mudguards: 1. Function: The main purpose of a car mudguard is to block mud. Generally, in rainy weather, especially on muddy roads, the car tires will accumulate a lot of mud, which can sometimes get onto the car body. When mudguards are installed, they help the car resist mud and sand. 2. Material: The mudguard is a plate-like structure installed behind the wheel frame, usually made of high-quality rubber, but some are made of engineering plastic. 3. Installation effect: The mudguard is usually a metal, leather, plastic, or rubber panel installed behind the car wheels. After installation, the mudguard protrudes about 5cm from the car body, effectively preventing flying stones and gravel from damaging the car's paint.

What is the reason why the car still cannot move after releasing the handbrake?

Car still cannot move after releasing the handbrake: reasons and solutions are as follows: Handbrake cable not retracting: Replace the handbrake cable. The professional term for handbrake is auxiliary brake, which operates differently from the main brake system. It uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel wire. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. The handbrake system also includes a return spring. When the handbrake is engaged, the spring is stretched, and when released, it returns to its original length. Long-term use can also cause deformation of the spring. Temperature too low: When the weather is too cold, the outer sheath of the handbrake cable may harden or freeze if there is water inside. Even if the handbrake is released, the inner cable may not retract. Solutions include exposing it to sunlight or pouring hot water on it. Additionally, the brake pads and brake drum may freeze together, preventing separation. Pouring hot water or gently tapping to separate them may be necessary.

Is It a Problem to Mix a Small Amount of Diesel into a Gasoline Engine?

If the amount added is very small, there should be no major issue because gasoline engines are spark-ignition engines, while diesel engines are compression-ignition engines. The ignition point of gasoline is lower than that of diesel. However, when the two are mixed, it only results in a lower initial boiling point and flash point of the blended fuel. After the diesel is atomized by the fuel pump and injected into the cylinder, it is compressed and ignited as the piston moves, causing the small amount of gasoline mixed with the diesel to burn and perform work. If the amount mixed is large, it may cause slight engine knocking. Causing Cylinder Scoring: In fact, adding no more than 5% diesel to gasoline generally has no significant impact on a gasoline engine. However, once the proportion of diesel increases, the probability of engine knocking and stalling rises rapidly, which may even lead to severe cylinder scoring. Immediate Engine Shutdown: Park the car in a safe area and shut off the engine immediately, then call the 4S shop to request a tow truck for repairs. At the 4S shop, it will be necessary to drain the fuel, clean the fuel tank and fuel lines, and replace the oil. This approach will minimize the damage.

Is the Car Sunroof Glass Sturdy?

Panoramic sunroof glass is sturdy. The flexible use of a car panoramic sunroof can provide a better environment for drivers and passengers. The panoramic sunroof increases the lighting area, enhances the interior grade of the car, and also improves the ventilation speed of the vehicle. Improving ventilation efficiency: Cars with panoramic sunroofs have an additional ventilation window, which can increase the speed of air circulation inside the car. The car sunroof utilizes the principle of negative pressure ventilation to extract the polluted air from the car while driving, making the airflow inside the car gentler without dust being drawn in, and the wind noise is also relatively low. Quickly eliminating fog: The car sunroof is also a method for rapid defogging. Due to the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, the windshield inside the car is prone to fogging. Although many cars are equipped with window defogging devices, the effect is not particularly noticeable. Cars with panoramic sunroofs can more quickly eliminate fog on the windshield, ensuring the driver's visibility.

Do I still need to stick the car insurance on the front of the vehicle?

It is not necessary to display it on the front of the vehicle. Currently, most regions across the country have implemented electronic insurance policies, which hold the same legal validity as paper policies. Functions of electronic insurance policies: If the compulsory traffic insurance label for vehicles in 2021 is an electronic policy, there is no need to display the compulsory insurance label in pilot areas. Electronic policies have the same effect as paper policies and labels. If stopped by traffic police, the owner only needs to present the electronic policy to be allowed to proceed without facing fines or vehicle towing. Usage of electronic insurance policies: Most regions nationwide have already adopted the electronic policy policy. For electronic policies purchased by vehicle owners, traffic police can simply check online to verify insurance coverage, eliminating the need to affix insurance labels on the windshield.
