What does the red exclamation mark on the BAIC New Energy dashboard indicate?
1 Answers
The appearance of a red exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many dashboard indicator lights with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction in the vehicle. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or failure, 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 is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the 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 is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a fault in one of the vehicle'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. Additionally, during daily vehicle use, the fault lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors, yellow and red, indicating different levels of severity: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system that is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to a repair facility to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious issue in the corresponding system. In such cases, do not continue driving. Pull over safely and seek professional assistance immediately to prevent unforeseen risks to the vehicle and personal safety. Note: When the vehicle is started, all lights will illuminate for an automatic system check and will turn off after the check is completed. If a light does not illuminate when the ignition is turned on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly to inspect and eliminate potential safety hazards.
