What does the exclamation mark on the Volkswagen Magotan dashboard mean?
1 Answers
There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general fault, automatic transmission fault, braking 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. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a malfunction in the car'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 failure. 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. 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 fluid should be replaced promptly. Braking System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a braking system warning, mainly indicating a fault in the braking system or low brake fluid level. The braking 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 is 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 Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or conduct a self-check. Focus on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the problem.
