The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or fault in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard that feature an exclamation mark, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of the exclamation mark fault lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system fault or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Abnormality: An exclamation mark in the middle of a horizontal line under parentheses. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car'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. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in one of the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop 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. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the fault lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two different colors, yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the nearest repair point for maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In such cases, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and seek professional assistance to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety. It is important to note that when the car is started, all lights will turn on as the system performs an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights will turn off automatically. If a light does not turn on when the ignition is switched on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for inspection and elimination of safety hazards.

How to Turn Off the Engine Auto Start-Stop?

Methods to turn off the auto start-stop are as follows: 1. Press the auto start-stop button directly (a circular arrow containing the letter A), and the dashboard will indicate that the system is turned off. 2. If you want to use this function again, press the button to turn it back on. 3. After turning on the auto start-stop, pressing the brake pedal slightly harder will turn off the engine, and pressing the brake again will start the engine, thereby saving fuel. The following are the disadvantages of auto start-stop: 1. Higher maintenance costs for the battery and starter: Frequent engine starts and stops can damage related components, such as the starter and battery. Although vehicles with auto start-stop systems use enhanced starters and batteries, in actual use, their failure rates are higher than those of ordinary vehicles without auto start-stop systems. 2. Poor user experience: Different models from various brands have different designs for the auto start-stop system. Some models have poor start-stop logic, with inaccurate intervention timing. Sometimes, the system does not activate even during prolonged stops. 3. More fuel consumption in traffic jams: In severe traffic jams, if the engine stops for a long time, the combustion chamber temperature drops, and unburned hydrocarbons and paraffin can form carbon deposits on the cylinder walls. If the fuel quality is poor, the situation can worsen. Carbon deposits increase fuel consumption and reduce power. The auto start-stop function, designed to reduce fuel consumption, may instead increase it.

What is the appropriate slope height for car passage at the entrance?

Generally, it should not exceed 15%. The straight gentle slope within 3.6 meters at the entrance and exit should be 7.5%, and the curved gentle slope within 2.4 meters should also be 7.5%. This prevents the front and rear chassis of the vehicle from scraping. Relevant introduction to car ramp slopes: Straight ramp: The ramp width should not be less than 1200, and the slope should not exceed 1:12. Double-turn ramp: The ramp width is 1200, the slope is 1:12, and the depth of the ramp start, end, and rest platform is 1500. L-shaped ramp: The ramp width is 1200, the slope is less than 1:12, and the depth of the ramp start, end, and rest platform is 1500. Slopes greater than 10%: When the slope exceeds 10%, gentle slopes should be set at both the upper and lower ends. The horizontal length of the straight gentle slope section should not be less than 3.6m, and the gentle slope gradient should be half of the ramp slope. The horizontal length of the curved gentle slope section should not be less than 2.4m, the curve radius should not be less than 20m, and the midpoint of the gentle slope section should be the original start or end point of the ramp.
