What does the exclamation mark on the Skoda Octavia dashboard mean?
1 Answers
There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, namely general faults, automatic transmission faults, brake system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off 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 faults: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a problem with the transmission or that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system faults: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal tire pressure: A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting faults: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a problem with the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to see where the problem lies.
