The red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside brackets) represents a warning for the braking system, primarily indicating either a brake 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 brake system issues, other exclamation marks on a car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission issues, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external lighting faults, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. A visit to a 4S shop is necessary to diagnose and address the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a transmission fault or low transmission fluid. Timely replacement of transmission fluid is required. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under brackets with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when tire pressure is too low. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the normal range. Lighting System Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark indicates a lighting system fault. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

What Causes Low Water Temperature in Cummins Engines

Cummins engine low water temperature is generally caused by a damaged thermostat or a constantly running cooling fan. When the vehicle's water temperature is low, it is necessary to check the coolant level and whether it has deteriorated; inspect the engine oil level; check for any foreign objects blocking the water radiator; examine if the fan blades are deformed; verify the proper functioning of the water temperature sensor and its circuit; and perform a disassembly inspection of the thermostat. If the thermostat fails and the valve cannot close, the coolant will continuously circulate in the large loop, potentially causing the engine's water temperature to be too low. Alternatively, some vehicles may have their thermostat removed during summer to reduce high temperatures, which can also result in very low engine water temperature.

Is a private car within ten years inspected every two years?

Is a private car within ten years inspected every two years? The following is a detailed introduction to the annual inspection: 1. Scope: The annual inspection refers to the inspection of the vehicle, including the appearance, chassis, lights, horn, and exhaust emissions, mainly to eliminate potential safety hazards in time and check whether the vehicle meets the standards, reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents. 2. Time: The annual inspection is generally conducted once a year at the inspection station by the end of the year. The deadline for the annual inspection can be found on the supplementary page of the driving license. 3. New regulations: The appearance inspection of private cars has been relaxed.

How to Remove the Oil Filter?

The steps to remove the oil filter are as follows: 1. Drain the used oil, ensuring it is completely removed; 2. Remove the old oil filter, place the used oil container beneath the filter, and take off the old filter. Be careful not to contaminate the engine interior with the used oil; 3. Prepare for the installation of the new oil filter; 4. Install the new oil filter. Before installation, place a sealing ring on the oil outlet, then slowly screw on the new oil filter. Do not overtighten—generally, hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to tighten it an additional 3/4 turn; 5. Refill the oil tank with new oil, and after filling, check again for any leaks underneath the engine.

Can Adjustable Suspension Adjust Chassis Height?

Adjustable suspension comes in two types: one can only adjust the damping force of the suspension shock absorber; the other can adjust both the stiffness of the suspension shock absorber and the spring. The former is called semi-active suspension, while the latter is called active suspension. Below is an introduction to adjustable suspension: 1. Introduction: Adjustable suspension is divided into active suspension and semi-active suspension. Full active suspension can adjust the stiffness and damping of the suspension in a timely manner based on the vehicle's motion state and road conditions, keeping it in the optimal shock absorption state. Semi-active suspension does not consider changing the stiffness of the suspension but only focuses on adjusting the damping of the suspension. 2. Adjusting Air Suspension: Air suspension refers to a suspension method that uses an air compressor to generate compressed air and adjusts the ground clearance of the vehicle chassis through compressed air.
