A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's regular performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff 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 indicator in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket 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 situations: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's 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 car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can inspect it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting, to identify the issue.

Is it necessary to install a car bug screen?

It is necessary to install a car bug screen, especially for vehicles that frequently travel on highways. Here are the specific details about car bug screens: 1. Impact: Since a car bug screen is a very fine protective mesh, installing it will inevitably affect the radiator's air cooling, leading to a decrease in the cooling efficiency of the radiator. 2. Benefits: In rural areas with many insects and during spring when willow catkins are flying everywhere, installing a bug screen can be somewhat effective. If a car bug screen is installed, the owner should regularly remove the screen for cleaning to prevent the accumulation of too much debris, which could affect the radiator's cooling. If a car bug screen is not installed, the owner should also regularly clean the engine compartment, especially the condenser and radiator.
