What does the yellow exclamation mark on the Volkswagen Bora dashboard mean?
1 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are four possible scenarios: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system fault. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the problem. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level 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 illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting System Fault: 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 conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, or interior lights to identify the issue. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses indicates a brake system warning, typically due to brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is necessary to avoid accidents.
