There are four possible scenarios when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. The following is a detailed analysis of these four situations: 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 cutoff system intervention or malfunction, 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 faults: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal tire pressure: An exclamation mark under a horizontal line inside a bracket represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light will illuminate when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting faults: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the car'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. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circle with a bracket, which represents a warning for the braking system. Common issues include braking system failure and low brake fluid level. The braking system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents.

What are the reasons for the ineffective braking of the Ford Focus?

The reasons for the ineffective braking of the Ford Focus are as follows: 1. ABS activation: The vehicle still does not show significant braking effect, and the braking distance is noticeably longer. 2. Wheels not locking up: ABS is not activated, and the vehicle continues to roll forward. It may be due to severe tire wear, resulting in a reduced static friction coefficient, making the tires prone to locking up and causing the ABS to intervene too early, failing to generate effective braking force and compromising safety. 3. Daily operational errors: The owner may have made mistakes in routine vehicle operation and maintenance. As a car owner, it is essential to regularly maintain the vehicle's braking system.

Can a Nail Puncture on the Outer Side of a Tire Be Repaired?

Tire sidewall punctures caused by nails can be repaired. Below are relevant extended details: 1. Whether Repair is Possible: The decision to replace or repair depends on the puncture location and extent of damage. If the nail punctures the tire tread and isn't excessively thick, professional repair shops can fix it effectively, preferably using a mushroom plug, though this method is more costly. However, if the nail punctures the tire sidewall, repair isn't advisable—replacement is necessary. 2. Conditions Requiring Tire Replacement: Besides sidewall punctures, tires should be replaced under the following circumstances: tread puncture holes exceeding 6mm in diameter, deformed bead or tread, corroded rubber, damage from driving on underinflated tires, or if the tire has been repaired more than four times.

Will driving with an unclosed car trunk be penalized?

If a vehicle is driven with an unclosed trunk, it may be stopped by traffic police and penalized as a traffic violation. Typically, this results in a fine, but the owner may only receive a warning without any point deduction. Upon being alerted by the police, the owner must promptly close the trunk securely. According to Article 7 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": It is prohibited to drive a vehicle with doors or compartments not properly closed. Below are scenarios where an unclosed trunk may lead to point deductions: If the unclosed trunk blocks the license plate, it constitutes the violation of "intentionally obscuring the license plate." Traffic authorities will impose a fine and deduct 12 points under Article 62 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." Additionally, an unclosed trunk can obstruct the driver's visibility, impairing safe driving and affecting other vehicles and pedestrians on the road. Given that this situation easily leads to traffic accidents and poses safety hazards, traffic police may impose stricter penalties on offending drivers to prevent recurrence. According to Article 62 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the following behaviors are prohibited while driving: operating a vehicle with unclosed doors or compartments; hanging or placing items within the front or rear windows that obstruct the driver's view; making or receiving handheld phone calls, watching TV, or other activities that hinder safe driving; coasting in neutral or stalling on steep slopes; throwing objects onto the road. If there are items in the trunk, they may be lost when driving on bumpy roads, causing financial losses. If these items damage following vehicles, the owner may also be liable for repair costs.

Which Gear to Use When Going Uphill in an Underground Garage?

Which gear to use when going uphill in an underground garage depends on the type of vehicle. For manual transmission vehicles, use 1st gear when going uphill, while for automatic transmission vehicles, use L gear or manual mode. More related information is as follows: 1. Climbing conditions: When climbing a slope, high torque and continuous power output are required to maintain stable vehicle performance. The principle is to delay gear shifting to obtain high power for climbing. 2. Function of manual transmission: Using 1st gear in a manual transmission vehicle allows for quick attainment of maximum torque. The L gear, also known as the low-speed or climbing gear, limits the vehicle to low-speed gears, preventing frequent automatic upshifts or downshifts by the transmission. This helps reduce speed and increase torque, making it commonly used during uphill climbs.
