1 Answers
The yellow exclamation mark has the following meanings: A yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle: Traction control indicator. A yellow bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle: Tire pressure monitoring indicator. A yellow light bulb with an exclamation mark in the middle: Lighting system fault indicator. A yellow gear with an exclamation mark in the middle: Transmission fault indicator. A yellow fan with an exclamation mark in the middle: Windshield wiper fault indicator. General faults: If a triangle with an exclamation mark lights up, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. 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 fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with a bracket and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light will illuminate when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow light bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in one of the vehicle'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 problem. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the warning 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 this case, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and call for professional assistance to prevent unforeseen 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, 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 potential safety hazards.
