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, exterior 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 parenthesis with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow light bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark indicates an automatic transmission fault warning light, signaling a transmission issue or low transmission fluid. 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. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Abnormal: A parenthesis with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle indicates a 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 light bulb with an exclamation mark is a 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 perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.
