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 vehicles. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark indicators: 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 scenarios: Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. It is necessary to replace the transmission oil 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. 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 represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the vehicle's 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-inspection focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

What does it mean when the thermometer light on the car comes on?

The thermometer light on the car coming on indicates that the engine coolant temperature is too high. The reasons for this are: 1. Insufficient or leaking coolant causing the temperature to rise; 2. A malfunctioning radiator fan resulting in the vehicle running at high speeds and generating heat that cannot be dissipated in time; 3. A problem with the circulation water pump, preventing the normal operation of the water circulation on the engine's heat conduction side, leading to a failure in the engine cooling system. Precautions when the thermometer light on the car comes on: 1. It is not advisable to continue driving when the temperature light on the dashboard flashes; wait for the temperature to drop before inspecting and repairing; 2. Do not immediately turn off the engine; 3. Do not splash cold water on the engine to cool it down, as this can cause the engine block to cool suddenly and crack.
