A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Possible causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: Visit an authorized 4S dealership 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 horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark, 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 indicates an automatic transmission fault warning light, signaling a transmission malfunction or low transmission fluid level. 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 brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to prevent accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A horizontal line with parentheses 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 bulb with an exclamation mark is a lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S dealership 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.

What are the new regulations for small cars exempt from inspection for ten years?

There is no policy for cars to be exempt from inspection for ten years. However, new cars within the first six years can be exempt from inspection twice. Below are the relevant details about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Regulations for vehicle annual inspection: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first five years; after five years, they must be inspected every six months. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first ten years; after ten years, they must be inspected every six months. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every two years within the first six years. Vehicles undergoing normal annual inspection require an on-site inspection and must obtain the annual inspection sticker. For new cars in their second year, since they are not covered by the exemption policy, the owner must drive the vehicle to the local inspection station on the specified date for inspection. Only after passing the inspection can the annual inspection sticker be obtained. 2. Regulations related to the six-year exemption: For new cars under the six-year exemption policy, according to regulations, they must undergo annual inspection in the second year. However, due to the benefits of the exemption policy, no vehicle inspection is required, and the annual inspection sticker can be applied for directly. However, the six-year exemption does not mean exemption from review. Every two years, the owner must bring documents such as the vehicle registration certificate to the local inspection station to complete the procedures and obtain the compliance sticker.

Structure: A manual transmission consists of the transmission gear mechanism, transmission housing, and control mechanism. 3. Classification: Based on the number of forward gears, they can be categorized into three-speed, four-speed, five-speed, and multi-speed transmissions; based on the shaft type, they can be divided into fixed-shaft (where the gear's rotational axis remains stationary) and rotating-shaft transmissions.
