The situations when a car's yellow exclamation mark light is on are: 1. A triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle indicates that the vehicle's general fault light is on, including issues such as overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch, intervention or malfunction of the fuel cutoff system, parking sensor failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, or traction control system warning or malfunction; 2. A horizontal line with an exclamation mark in the middle is the tire pressure warning light, which illuminates when the air pressure in one of the car's tires is too low; 3. A circle with an exclamation mark indicates that the car's brake system warning light is on. The brake system warning light comes on when the car is powered up and turns off after the engine is started. The warning light also comes on when the handbrake is engaged and turns off when the handbrake is released.

How does an engine piston move?

The intake valve opens, and the piston moves downward, drawing in the air-fuel mixture. The piston then moves upward to compress the air-fuel mixture, making the explosion more powerful. When the piston reaches the top, the spark plug emits a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture, and the explosion forces the piston to move downward again. The piston reaches the bottom, the exhaust valve opens, and the piston moves upward, expelling the exhaust gases from the cylinder through the exhaust pipe.

What is the difference between piba and pea?

Here are the differences between piba and pea: 1. Composition: The fuel additive with polyisobutylene amine (piba) as the main component focuses on cleaning carbon deposits in the fuel system, fuel injectors, and intake valves. 2. Cleanliness: If the engine uses ethanol gasoline with a lower ignition point, it may also wash carbon deposits from the fuel system into the combustion chamber.

What Causes BMW Tire Pressure Monitoring System Malfunctions?

There are many potential causes for such malfunctions, requiring professional inspection to diagnose and resolve. The tire pressure monitoring system is designed to alert the driver about abnormal tire pressure or system failures. Tire pressure is crucial for optimal performance - it must neither be too high nor too low. Excessive pressure reduces the tire's contact area with the road surface, resulting in decreased traction. Insufficient pressure can cause wave-like deformation during high-speed driving, accelerating tire wear and significantly increasing the risk of blowouts.

What to Do When Water Leaks into the Car's Front Passenger Seat?

Immediately remove the accumulated water inside the car, use a car vacuum to dry it, and after wiping clean, promptly air-dry the vehicle.
