A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in vehicles. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow parenthesis with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a malfunction in the transmission 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, primarily indicating brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection and repair of the brake system are required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: A parenthesis with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which 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 malfunction in 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.

How to Solve the Abnormal Noise When the Rear Wheels Go Over Speed Bumps?

The main causes and solutions for abnormal noise when the rear wheels go over speed bumps are: 1. Spring aging. When a car has been used for too many years, the springs may age, causing noise when the car passes over bumpy roads. This is a normal phenomenon, and the solution is to replace the aged springs promptly. 2. Damaged shock absorber. When the plane bearing of the car's shock absorber is damaged, it can also cause noise when the car passes over speed bumps. This situation requires a professional at a repair shop or 4S store to inspect and repair the car's shock absorber. 3. Tire bulging. If the tire has bulges or the tire pressure is too high, it can also cause noise when the car passes over bumpy roads. In this case, the car's tires need to be inspected and repaired. 4. Severely worn brake pads. When the car's brake pads are severely worn, they can also cause noise during braking or driving. In this case, the brake pads should be replaced immediately. 5. Loose exhaust pipe. If the noise is caused by a loose exhaust pipe, simply re-secure the exhaust pipe.

How is Autonomous Driving Achieved?

Autonomous driving relies on numerous sensors and computers to be realized, making it a highly complex technology. Most vehicles equipped with autonomous driving capabilities currently operate at Level 2 (L2) autonomy, which refers to partial automation. Additional information: 1. The autonomous driving system employs advanced communication, computing, network, and control technologies to achieve real-time and continuous control over vehicles. Utilizing modern communication methods that directly interface with vehicles enables bidirectional data transmission between the vehicle and ground systems. This fast, high-capacity communication allows following vehicles and control centers to obtain precise positioning of leading vehicles promptly, resulting in more flexible operation management, more effective control, and better adaptation to autonomous driving requirements. 2. The primary functions of autonomous driving systems include bidirectional vehicle-to-ground information transmission and comprehensive emergency handling for operational organization. The vehicle-to-ground information transmission channel constitutes a critical component of the automatic train control system. The onboard equipment of the automatic control system operates entirely based on driving control commands received from the ground control center, continuously monitoring the actual vehicle speed against ground-permitted speed instructions. When a vehicle exceeds the ground speed limit, the onboard equipment will implement braking to ensure operational safety.

What is the working principle of the brake pump?

The working principle of the brake pump is that when the brake is pressed, the piston inside the master brake cylinder is subjected to the thrust from the brake pedal, which then acts through the push rod. Depending on the vehicle type, it is divided into two types: air brake master cylinder and hydraulic brake master cylinder. The following is an introduction: 1. Hydraulic brake master cylinder: When the brake is pressed, the piston inside the master brake cylinder is subjected to the thrust from the brake pedal, which then acts through the push rod, transmitting the brake fluid through the pipes to the pistons of each brake slave cylinder. This then pushes the brake shoes to expand outward, causing the brake pads to rub against the inner surface of the brake drum, thereby achieving the braking effect. 2. Pneumatic brake master cylinder: The working principle of the pneumatic brake master cylinder is actually not much different from that of the hydraulic brake master cylinder, both serving as valves. The difference is that after braking, the hydraulic brake master cylinder controls the brake fluid to flow back into the reservoir. Vehicles using air brakes are usually equipped with several relatively large air storage tanks, and after braking, the air is directly discharged, which explains why the exhaust sound of large trucks is so loud.

Why Does the Truck's Beidou System Go Offline?

There may be several reasons why a vehicle's GPS positioning system frequently shows as offline, which are: 1. The SIM card in the GPS tracker has no balance. 2. Your vehicle is in a signal dead zone, preventing the device from uploading information. 3. The communication module (GSM module) of the GPS tracker is malfunctioning. 4. The GPS antenna is damaged. 5. The device has no power. 6. The sensitivity of the GPS module has decreased, making it unable to locate. Additional Information: 1. When applied in traffic management, the GPS system can accurately reflect the real-time position and trajectory of vehicles on the road network on the control center's electronic map. It acts like a pair of eyes for traffic managers, enabling real-time monitoring of vehicle flow direction, volume, speed, density, and road network load levels, among other traffic information. 2. By connecting the GPS system with urban traffic signal control systems, traffic geographic information systems, and traffic intelligence information systems, real-time traffic signal control, traffic guidance, and traffic flow organization optimization can be achieved. This helps maximize the use of the road network, reduce vehicle travel time, minimize driving delays, decrease empty vehicle runs, ensure driving safety, and improve road capacity.

Can I Get a Refund for Driving School Tuition After Passing Subject One?

You can get a refund after taking Subject One, but the amount refunded needs to be negotiated with the driving school, as a full refund is unlikely. This is because the driving school enrollment fee typically includes the training fee charged by the driving school and the examination fee paid to the vehicle management office. Generally, any fees that have not yet been incurred can be refunded. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Driving school enrollment time: Enrolling in a driving school to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license takes about half an hour to complete. Afterward, you will wait for the driving school's notification to undergo a physical examination. Once the physical examination is completed, you can begin studying for Subject One of the motor vehicle driver's license. After meeting the required study hours, you can take the exam. Other subjects must be completed in the same order, and within six months, there is no need to repeat the physical examination. 2. Time to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license: Under normal circumstances, it takes about 45 days to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license, with a maximum time limit of three years. This period starts after passing the Subject One exam. If this time limit is exceeded, the qualification for the motor vehicle driver's license exam will be canceled, and you will no longer be able to take the exam.
