What does the yellow exclamation mark on the Tiggo 5x dashboard mean?
2 Answers
Tiggo 5x dashboard showing a yellow exclamation mark may indicate the electronic power steering system warning light. This light illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to ON mode and should turn off after 3 seconds. If the light remains on or illuminates while driving, it indicates a system malfunction. Other warning lights on the Tiggo 5x dashboard include the battery indicator, coolant temperature indicator, oil pressure indicator, engine warning light, and airbag warning light. The Tiggo 5x has body dimensions of 4338mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1645mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm.
I was driving just now when suddenly a yellow exclamation mark popped up on the dashboard. My first reaction was to pull over immediately to check what's going on. When this warning light comes on, it usually means the car is alerting us about some malfunction. The most common cause is tire pressure warning - last time I encountered this, it was due to a slow leak from a nail in the right rear tire, and the TPMS displayed this exact icon. If the tires are fine, you should pop the hood to check the brake fluid level; there are indicator marks on the side of the reservoir - if it's below the minimum line, top it up immediately. Another possibility is malfunctioning taillights or brake lights, so have a friend help press the brake pedal to check if they illuminate. The most troublesome scenario is an engine fault, which could be triggered by a sensor error - in this case, I recommend visiting a 4S shop as soon as possible to scan for trouble codes. Although a yellow warning light doesn't mean immediate breakdown, ignoring it might lead to more serious problems.
