A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general 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: Visit an authorized 4S dealership for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning symbol in vehicles. In addition to 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 indicates an automatic transmission fault warning light, signaling 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 and repair of the brake system are required to prevent accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A bracket 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 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 lighting to identify the issue.

What materials are required for the 6-year exemption inspection of company vehicles?

The documents required for the 6-year exemption inspection of vehicles are as follows: vehicle license, ID card. Handle any traffic violations and clear all fines. Insurance policy for compulsory traffic insurance issued by the insurance company. Preparations for the annual inspection: 1. Dim lights or modified xenon headlights may cause your annual inspection to fail. During the inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lights. If the lights are found to be too dim or too bright, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the inspection. Therefore, it is necessary to check the vehicle's lights in advance. If the lights are too dim, check the wiring and bulbs for aging and replace them if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to restore the original headlights before the inspection to pass the test. 2. Ensure the vehicle's braking performance is good; replace brake pads if needed. The braking performance is one of the most important safety indicators of a vehicle and is a mandatory inspection item. Therefore, the braking system should be checked in advance. Brake fluid and brake pads are the two key areas of focus. Dirty brake fluid or high water content can cause soft braking, while excessively worn brake pads can lead to reduced braking force and noise. After inspection, perform necessary maintenance to ensure the vehicle passes the annual inspection. 3. Handle any traffic violation records before the annual inspection. Unresolved traffic violations will affect the inspection's outcome. Check for any traffic violations before the inspection and pay any fines promptly. Traffic violation fines can be paid at banks that handle such transactions. 4. Renew insurance before the annual inspection. The annual inspection is based on the vehicle's registration date, which often coincides with the insurance expiration date. If the insurance policy is due to expire within 15 days, renew it before the inspection. Documents required for obtaining the inspection pass mark: "Motor Vehicle License Application Form," "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record," and "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Certificate." For company vehicles, bring the company seal and a letter of authorization, and the agent should present their original ID card.

Faulty charcoal canister solenoid valve, charcoal canister, or fuel vapor lines. 2. Gasoline leakage from the high-pressure fuel pump into the crankcase. 3. Incorrect installation of the fuel filter (400kPa installed as 600kPa). 4. Faulty fuel injectors. 5. Restricted airflow due to a clogged air filter or faulty intake lines. 6. Incorrect load signals caused by faulty sensor readings. 7. Excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chamber. 8. Faulty oxygen sensor. 9. Internal ECU malfunction. 10. Other faults.

Is It Safe to Store Gasoline in Iron Drums During Summer?

It is not safe. Below are precautions for storing gasoline: 1. It is best to use metal containers for gasoline storage: The lid must be tightly screwed to prevent gasoline molecules from escaping. The gasoline drum should be placed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from fire, electricity, and heat sources, and where it is not easily knocked over. Never place it in living rooms, kitchens, corridors, or wooden staircases. 2. If you suddenly smell gasoline at home: Conduct an inspection immediately, but never use an open flame for illumination. If you find a gasoline storage container is cracked or leaking, replace it promptly. Welding is strictly prohibited as it can easily cause an explosion. 3. If a gasoline storage container is knocked over: If a large amount of gasoline spills indoors, evacuate all household members quickly and immediately extinguish all ignition sources indoors and outdoors. Do not turn on lights or operate electrical switches, as the resulting sparks can cause gasoline to ignite. Also, open windows and doors for ventilation. 4. Gasoline storage containers: Do not fill them completely; leave at least 5% of the container's volume empty to allow gasoline molecules room to "move," as gasoline expands when heated, which can force the container to "bulge" or even rupture. 5. When using iron or fiberglass containers for storage: Ensure they are tightly sealed. Avoid plastic containers, as they can generate static electricity. Store in a cool place, and do not store too much gasoline for too long, as it can deteriorate. Keeping gasoline fresh is beneficial for the engine. 6. Empty gasoline drums: If they are no longer used for gasoline, they must be processed. Residual gasoline in the drum can easily volatilize and explode if exposed to fire. Therefore, before any heat processing, fill the drum with water and empty it repeatedly to wash away the gasoline.
