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 system failure. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. 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 fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The 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 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: 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 system failure: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction 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.

Levin 1.2T: Should I Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Levin 1.2T should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the Levin 1.2T can also refer to the fuel cap, which will indicate the recommended grade. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Levin 1.2T occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane value will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane value, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites during the compression stroke, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise and does not significantly damage the engine. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on the pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in severe cases.
