The steaming tea cup symbol on the dashboard is a fatigue driving warning indicator. Introduction to the dashboard: The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems. Common indicators include the fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front/rear fog light indicators, and warning lights. Dashboard maintenance: Regularly use a specially formulated cleaner diluted in proper proportions to avoid plastic parts losing luster or turning white due to excessive concentration. Evenly spray the prepared cleaning solution on the console surface, then wipe twice using wet and dry towels in that order. Apply a layer of cleaning protective wax to extend its service life.
I noticed the teacup with steam icon on the dashboard is the fatigue driving warning system reminding you to take a break. It means the vehicle has detected you've been driving continuously for too long, showing signs of fatigue. If you don't rest in time, it could easily lead to an accident. Having driven for many years myself, I know the tremendous dangers of fatigued driving, including delayed reactions and poor judgment. Modern vehicles are equipped with sensors or cameras that monitor steering stability or lane departure frequency, and will illuminate the warning light once abnormalities are detected. My suggestion is to immediately pull over at a safe location when you see this icon, then rest for 15-20 minutes, have some energizing drinks or take a short nap. For long-distance driving, it's advisable to plan a break every two hours to ensure driving safety.
