Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses), this represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a malfunction in the braking system or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating a braking system fault, other exclamation marks in a car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault 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 transmission fluid level being below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under parentheses with 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 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 a malfunction in the car'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 lights to identify the issue.

Does the 2021 Audi Q3 have a particulate filter?

Audi Q3 some models have particulate filters. The particulate filter can reduce the particles in the engine exhaust emissions, recycle them, reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, increase the environmental protection of the vehicle, and reduce pollution to the atmosphere. To check whether the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following 3 methods: Check the "Owner's Maintenance Manual" and "Owner's User Manual" to see if there is a particulate filter function. In addition, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" fault light indicator. Check the label above the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means that a particulate filter is installed. Check whether there is a cylindrical section behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe. If there is, that is the particulate filter. Location of the particulate filter: The particulate filter is located behind the three-way catalytic converter, in front of the muffler, and is surrounded by front and rear oxygen sensors.
