What does the stop on the car mean?
2 Answers
Stop on the car refers to the mandatory parking alarm. When this situation occurs, the engine should be stopped immediately. The main reasons for the stop light to illuminate are low oil pressure, low brake fluid level, and high water temperature. The mandatory parking alarm light is connected to the engine's oil pressure, brake fluid level, coolant temperature gauge, and electronic brake force distribution system, and is not a separate fault light. After it lights up, other components of the car should be checked accordingly. The mandatory parking alarm light usually comes in two colors: yellow represents a general fault, and red represents a serious fault. There are dozens of fault lights on the car dashboard, including tire pressure alarm light, water temperature alarm light, windshield washer fluid alarm light, engine fault alarm light, battery alarm light, brake alarm light, door not closed alarm light, seat belt not fastened alarm light, ABS alarm light, and oil alarm light.
Seeing you ask about the meaning of 'stop' on the car, I knew it when I was learning to drive—it's actually what we commonly call the brake light. When you press the brake pedal, that red light at the rear of the car turns on, sending a signal to the cars behind: 'Hey, I'm slowing down or stopping, don't rear-end me!' This thing is super important for safety because when driving at high speeds, if others don't see this light, they might easily crash into you. I suggest everyone develop a habit: before each drive, check in the mirror to see if the brake light is working. If the bulb is burnt out or the wiring is damaged, replace it quickly—a new bulb costs less than 10 bucks, and you can screw it in yourself. If it's rainy and the light isn't working in dim conditions, it's even more dangerous and prone to accidents. In short, 'stop' isn't decoration; it's a lifesaver, and you must never overlook it while driving.
