What does the exclamation mark on the Zotye e200 indicate?
2 Answers
There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general faults, automatic transmission faults, braking system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General Faults: An exclamation mark inside a triangle 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 recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the problem. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission issue or low transmission fluid level. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Braking System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets represents a braking system warning, typically indicating a braking system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the braking system is necessary to prevent accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line beneath brackets is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and adjust 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's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the issue.
My Zotye E200 recently had the exclamation mark warning light come on, which really gave me a scare. As an electric vehicle, this triangular exclamation mark commonly indicates issues like brake system failure, charging equipment abnormality, or tire pressure imbalance. That time, it was triggered because the left rear tire pressure dropped to 1.8 bar - when I drove to the repair shop, they found a nail punctured the tire. A friend of mine had it worse when rainwater got into the charging port causing a short circuit. Now whenever I see this warning light, I immediately pull over safely and check the specific error code on the central display. My advice is never to keep driving when it appears, especially if it's a brake system alert - that thing is literally life-or-death.
