Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside), this represents 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 indicating a braking system fault, all other exclamation marks on 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 or components and functions. Main issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, 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 fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket 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 with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating a fault in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair 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 problem.

Does Snow Affect Car Paint?

Snow does affect car paint. After snowfall, the most vulnerable part of a vehicle is the paint. Snowwater contains high levels of salt and various alkaline components. If snow splashes onto the car body or chassis and is not cleaned promptly, it can cause severe corrosion to the paint, chassis, and tires. After snowfall, it's advisable to take your car to a professional automatic car wash. These facilities use large amounts of flowing clean water with neutral cleaning agents to gently rinse the car body, and specialized wheel brushes clean the sludge from the gaps in the wheel hubs. Automatic car washes are equipped with chassis cleaning devices that use powerful upward water jets to thoroughly remove any mud or water attached to the chassis surface. When washing your car, try to use lukewarm water, as water that is too cold or too hot in cold weather can damage the paint. After washing, make sure to dry the windows, otherwise, water left in the door gaps can freeze.

What happens when using the service brake continuously on a long slope?

Continuously using the service brake on a long slope can lead to the following situations: the temperature of the brake increases, causing a sharp decline in braking effectiveness. It can also cause the brake pads to overheat, resulting in reduced braking force. In severe cases, it may lead to a complete loss of braking ability, causing brake failure. Therefore, when descending a long slope, it is advisable to use a lower gear and employ engine braking. If you can clearly feel severe malfunction symptoms in the car, for the safety of both the passengers and the vehicle, it is recommended not to continue driving. Brake system failures are usually accompanied by symptoms such as brake failure, poor braking, brake pulling, or uneven braking. Without effective braking, there is no safety guarantee, and immediate inspection and repair are necessary.

Do You Need to Press AC When Turning on the Car Heater?

You do not need to press AC when turning on the car heater; AC is only required when using the air conditioning for cooling. Here is how to turn on the heater: 1. After starting the car, wait approximately 8-15 minutes until the engine coolant temperature reaches the normal operating range (when the temperature gauge reaches the middle). 2. Adjust the air circulation mode to recirculate inside the cabin and switch to the heating mode. Some cars indicate this with a red zone, while others use a sun symbol. The four main functions of modern automotive air conditioning systems are as follows: 1. The air conditioning system can regulate the cabin temperature, both heating and cooling the air to maintain a comfortable environment. 2. The system can dehumidify the air. Dry air absorbs sweat from the body, creating a more comfortable atmosphere. 3. The system can introduce fresh air, providing ventilation. 4. The system filters the air, removing dust and pollen.

Is it better to use internal or external air circulation when driving in winter?

Whether to use internal or external air circulation when driving with the heater on in winter depends on the specific situation. Here are detailed methods for choosing between internal and external circulation: 1. Turn on internal circulation when the outside air quality is poor, when quickly heating the car interior, or when needing to maintain warmth inside the car. Internal circulation uses the existing air inside the car for circulation. Its purpose is to prevent harmful outside elements from entering while also helping to retain warmth. 2. Use external circulation when the outside air is fresh, or when the car has been using internal circulation for an extended period and requires fresh air. External circulation uses a fan to draw outside air into the car, creating airflow between the outside and inside. Even without the fan running, the movement of the car will naturally draw in outside air, replenishing the fresh air inside. 3. When driving on highways for long periods, prolonged lack of air exchange can lead to stale air inside the car. In such cases, it's necessary to turn on external circulation to ensure timely air renewal.
