1 Answers
The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction 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, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning lights: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance, components, or functions have malfunctioned. 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 and identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The 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, mainly indicating brake system failure or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on 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 is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a malfunction in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or check yourself, 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 warning lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors, yellow and red, indicating different levels of severity: 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 call for 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 turns on while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for inspection and elimination of safety hazards.
