Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside brackets) indicates a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a braking system malfunction 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 representing braking system faults, other exclamation marks on a car are yellow, indicating 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 or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff 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 Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under brackets 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 car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a fault in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem.

Can motorcycle license plates be selected online?

Motorcycle license plates can be selected online. The following are the precautions for applying for vehicle license numbers: 1. Accurate information entry: Applicants must ensure the accuracy of information such as the certificate number, vehicle identification code, unified sales invoice of the motor vehicle, and contact details. Incorrect information entry will result in the cancellation of the pre-selected license plate number. 2. Avoid overdue processing: After successfully pre-selecting a license plate number, the number will be reserved for 15 working days from the next day. Failure to complete the registration within this period will result in the cancellation of the pre-selected motor vehicle license plate number, and the user will be blacklisted, prohibiting them from applying for online license plate selection services for 2 years. During the validity period of the pre-selected license plate number, no further selection is allowed.

How to use the Audi Q5L auto hold?

Press the AUTOHOLD button next to the gear shift, and the auto hold will activate after stopping. Below is relevant information about auto hold: 1. Introduction: Auto hold, also known as AUTOHOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it simplifies operations by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent switching between D to N or D to P. 2. Working Principle: When the vehicle is temporarily stopped and needs to restart shortly after, this type of parking is handled by the ESP-controlled brakes. Through a series of sensors, it measures the vehicle's levelness and wheel torque, determines the tendency of the vehicle to move, and applies an appropriate braking force to the wheels to keep the vehicle stationary.

What is the speed limit for cars on mountain roads in kilometers?

The speed limit for cars on mountain roads is 30 kilometers. The specific situation depends on the speed limit signs posted on the road. Below are relevant introductions: 1. Control speed/maintain distance: When driving on mountain roads, the most important thing is to maintain a safe distance. Because the road conditions on mountain roads are more complex than those in urban areas, especially in weather with low visibility such as rain, snow, or heavy fog, unforeseen situations often occur. 2. Slow down on curves/do not overtake: On mountain roads, you often encounter continuous curves and sharp turns. Generally, there will be road signs before the curves indicating what kind of curve lies ahead. When seeing these signs, drivers should slow down. If encountering sharp turns, use the horn and flashing lights in combination.

How Long Does Car Air Conditioning Refrigerant Last?

Car air conditioning refrigerant can last for two to three years. Below are specific details about recharging car air conditioning refrigerant: 1. Precautions: There are two methods for recharging refrigerant—high-pressure side charging and low-pressure side charging. These are two completely different methods; one involves adding liquid, and the other involves adding gas. High-pressure side charging is typically used for the initial recharge, as it involves adding liquid, which is faster and safer. Low-pressure side charging involves adding gas, which is slower and is generally used for top-ups. 2. Temperature should be appropriate: Setting the temperature too low can affect health, so it's important to adjust the air conditioning temperature appropriately. The most comfortable temperature for the human body is between 20°C and 25°C. Above 28°C, people feel stuffy, while below 14°C, they feel cold. Therefore, the car air conditioning should maintain an interior temperature between 18°C and 25°C. Excessively low temperatures can easily make people sick.

What Causes the Significant Height Difference Between the Brake and Accelerator Pedals?

The brake pedal is typically 30-50mm higher than the accelerator pedal, serving as a tactile reminder to the driver to prevent accidental pressing of the accelerator. Below are the key explanations: 1. Within Comfort Range: During design, the accelerator pedal is positioned within a comfortable operational range. The intentional height difference between the two pedals enhances their distinctiveness, ensuring the driver can differentiate them easily and avoid mistakenly pressing the accelerator when intending to brake, thereby safeguarding occupants' safety. 2. Different Travel Distances: Generally, the brake pedal is about 20mm higher than the accelerator. Their travel distances also differ, with the brake pedal usually having slightly longer travel than the accelerator. This design aims for linear braking feedback in the brake system, while the accelerator prioritizes immediate power response. Note that not all vehicle models follow this pattern—high-performance cars often feature pedals at nearly the same height.
