The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or fault in the corresponding system. There are many dashboard indicator lights with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, braking system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning 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 faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or faults, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, 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 being below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Braking System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a fault in the braking system or low brake fluid level. The braking system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Abnormality: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's 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 problem. In addition, during daily vehicle use, 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 illuminate as the system performs an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights will turn off automatically. If a light does not illuminate when the ignition is turned on, remains lit without turning off, 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.

Windshield Washer Fluid: Commonly known as glass water, it is a consumable item in car maintenance. High-quality windshield washer fluid mainly consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. 2. Performance of Windshield Washer Fluid: (1) Cleaning Performance: The fluid is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, providing cleaning and decontamination effects. (2) Anti-freeze Performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, preventing freezing and quickly dissolving frost. (3) Anti-fog Performance: A monomolecular protective layer forms on the glass surface, preventing the formation of fog droplets and ensuring clear visibility through the windshield.

Can You Keep Perfume in Your Car During Summer?

It is not advisable to keep perfume in your car during summer. The hot and dry weather in summer increases the risk of fire hazards. Especially when the air conditioning is on and windows are closed, the car becomes a confined space, which can lead to explosion accidents. Many car owners tend to overlook these safety details, but such negligence can result in severe consequences. Here are some precautions: 1. Avoid using low-quality foam cleaners: When cleaning the car interior, refrain from using inferior foam cleaners as they can leave a pungent odor inside the car and may also damage the upholstery. 2. Do not park the car under direct sunlight: During hot weather, try your best not to park the car in areas exposed to direct sunlight. Instead, park in shaded areas or underground parking lots. You can also place a sunshade on the windshield to prevent the interior temperature from rising too high.

Where are the tire pressure sensors installed in a car?

Tire pressure monitoring sensors are installed on the tires, usually at the valve stem position. The tire pressure monitoring display is typically placed on the center console. The middle position of the center console houses many electronic devices, which can have a certain impact on radio frequency interference. The tire pressure sensor is a simple tire pressure monitoring system that utilizes the sensing function of ABS to compare the rotation counts of the tires. A tire with insufficient pressure will have a shorter circumference, and if one of the four tires has insufficient pressure, its rotation count will differ from the others while driving. The working principle of the tire pressure sensor is that when the car is in motion, the sensors installed on each tire transmit data such as tire pressure and temperature to the central receiver via wireless signals. After receiving the data, the receiver analyzes and judges the tire pressure and temperature data, and displays warnings on the alarm display as needed.
