What does the triangle exclamation mark on the Lynk & Co dashboard mean?
2 Answers
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 cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator 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, 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 scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. 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, typically indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle is 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 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.
I bought a Lynk & Co 03 last year, and this yellow triangle warning suddenly popped up before! After asking the 4S店 technician, I learned it's a universal alert symbol—the specific meaning depends on the accompanying message. Once when it lit up, I noticed the tire pressure icon was also flashing, and sure enough, there was a nail stuck in the tire when I checked. Another time it displayed 'Check Brake System,' which turned out to be low brake fluid. The scariest was when it turned red with 'STOP'—never keep driving in that case! Now I’ve developed a habit: whenever the yellow triangle lights up, I immediately glance at the small screen in the middle of the dashboard—it always shows the exact issue. If I can’t understand it, I just press the voice button on the left side of the steering wheel and say, 'Hi Lynk, check alert message,' and the infotainment system will read it out loud for me.
