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.

Can New Cars Be Driven on Highways During the Break-in Period?

New cars can be driven on highways during the break-in period, but it is not mandatory. Driving on highways does not necessarily mean running the engine at high RPMs. Modern vehicles are manufactured with high precision and undergo a cold break-in phase before leaving the factory, so their mechanical performance is already in good condition. Therefore, it is acceptable to drive on highways during the break-in period. However, there are a few points to note when driving a new car on highways during the break-in period: 1. Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking; 2. Monitor the engine oil condition regularly; 3. Use appropriate gear shifts; 4. Ensure fuel quality. Driving a new car on highways during the break-in period is not only fine but may even be better than stop-and-go city driving, which can be less ideal for the break-in process.

What is the recommended replacement interval for the transmission fluid in a Grand Cherokee?

The transmission fluid in a Grand Cherokee should typically be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers under normal driving conditions. For precise intervals, please refer to the vehicle's maintenance manual. Failure to replace aged transmission fluid will reduce its lubricating properties, leading to ineffective lubrication that may compromise the hydraulic system's performance and cause unstable transmission pressure. Transmission fluid is essential for maintaining a clean transmission system, ensuring proper operation and prolonging the lifespan of transmission components. There are three mainstream methods for replacing automatic transmission fluid: the first method is similar to an oil change, where the transmission drain plug is removed to drain and refill the fluid; the second involves removing the oil pan for draining and refilling; the third and more advanced method utilizes a specialized flushing machine for automatic transmission fluid replacement.

What are the safety precautions for driving in heavy fog?

Safety precautions for driving in heavy fog include: 1. Turn on fog lights; 2. Drive at low speed and pay attention to safety; 3. Stay in the middle of the road rather than along the roadside; 4. Do not wipe the windshield while driving to remove fog; 5. After parking, passengers should stay away from the vehicle. If the fog is too heavy and you decide to wait for it to dissipate before continuing, park the car close to the roadside with fog lights, low beams, and hazard lights on. Importantly, after parking, all passengers should exit from the right side of the vehicle and stay as far away from the road as possible. Never remain seated in the car. If parked in an emergency stopping area on the highway, it is best for passengers to climb over the guardrail and wait outside the roadbed.
