What does the yellow exclamation mark on the Lavida dashboard mean?
1 Answers
There are four possible scenarios when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting system failure. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component/function malfunction in the vehicle. Common causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the issue. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark inside a horizontal line under a bracket represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting System Failure: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting failure indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets indicates a braking system warning, typically due to braking system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the braking system is required to prevent accidents.
