What does the yellow exclamation mark on the Roewe dashboard mean?
2 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are four possible scenarios: general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below 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 cut-off 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 that the transmission has a fault or the transmission fluid is below the normal range. The 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 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, signaling that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or conduct a self-check. Focus on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets indicates a brake system warning, primarily signaling brake system failure or low brake fluid levels. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents.
I've been a Roewe owner for many years. One time while driving, the yellow exclamation mark light on the dashboard suddenly came on, which made me a bit nervous. Later I learned some knowledge - this light is a warning indicator, possibly indicating insufficient tire pressure. Roewe vehicles often have somewhat sensitive TPMS systems that will illuminate when there's tire air leakage. Or it could be minor engine issues, like problems with the oxygen sensor which can easily trigger when there's significant carbon buildup. Low brake fluid level is another possibility. When this light comes on, it means the car needs inspection - don't ignore it. Driving safety comes first. I recommend pulling over immediately, checking fault codes via mobile app or having a repair shop scan the OBD port to identify the specific cause. During routine maintenance, regularly check tire pressure and fluid levels to prevent this from happening. Roewe vehicles are generally reliable, but these details shouldn't be taken lightly - addressing issues early saves money and hassle.
