A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off 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 warning in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow parenthesis 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 indicates an automatic transmission fault warning light, meaning there is a transmission issue or the transmission fluid is below the normal range. The 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, primarily indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A parenthesis with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on 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 the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Alternatively, you can perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the issue.

How to Perform Anti-Rust and Anti-Oxidation Treatment on Flooded Vehicle Wiring Connectors?

Effective, but prone to scratching the connectors, especially on premium earphone connectors. Using paper towels and vinegar, wipe for 5 minutes, and the oxidation on the connectors will also fall off, but some scratch marks may remain on the connectors. Polishing paste can also solve the problem, but it should be used with caution on gold-plated connectors as the gold plating is thin. WD-40 can be used to clean capacitor circuit boards without any issues, but ensure to wipe it clean thoroughly after using it for polishing or weak acid cleaning. Using a genuine leather eraser is simple and convenient, requiring no additives.

Should New Cars Be Driven at High Speeds?

New cars do not necessarily need to be driven at high speeds. Driving at high speeds is meant to help the car reach its optimal state earlier, but it is not necessary to deliberately run at very high speeds for break-in purposes. After a new car reaches 3,000 kilometers, it is recommended to drive on expressways or highways twice a month. For example, maintain a relatively high speed, such as 120 km/h, for about ten minutes, then slow down for a while before accelerating again. For manual transmission or semi-automatic cars, using high RPMs in lower gears can also achieve the break-in effect, although fuel consumption will be higher. For safety reasons, avoid driving excessively fast just for the sake of high-speed break-in. Normal driving can also help the car reach its optimal state—it’s just a matter of time.
