The exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates that the system has an abnormality or malfunction. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator light, lighting fault indicator light, steering system fault indicator light, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator light, and wiper fault indicator light. Below is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning lights: General faults: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Main issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or faults, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system fault or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the car's tire pressure is too low, this warning light will come on. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Go to a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or check it yourself. Focus 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 that there is a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the corresponding repair point for maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards in time. Red indicates that there is a very serious problem in the corresponding system. If this happens, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and call for professional assistance to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety caused by forced driving. It should be noted that when the car is started, all lights will turn on, and the system will perform an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights will turn off automatically. If a light does not come on when the ignition is turned on, stays on continuously, or lights up while driving, it means that the related system has a fault. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for car inspection and elimination of safety hazards.

How Many Kilometers Can a Pure Electric Vehicle Travel?

It is understood that pure electric vehicles can travel up to approximately 500 kilometers, while ordinary household electric vehicles can generally travel more than 200 kilometers. The following is a related introduction: Pure Electric Vehicles: Pure electric vehicles (Battery-Electric-Vehicle, referred to as BEV) are completely powered by rechargeable batteries (such as lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, or lithium-ion batteries). Although they have a long history of 134 years, their application has been limited to certain specific areas, and the market is relatively small. The main reason is that various types of batteries generally have serious shortcomings such as high prices, short lifespans, large size and weight, and long charging times. The components of an electric vehicle include: an electric drive and control system, mechanical systems for driving force transmission, and working devices to complete set tasks. The electric drive and control system is the core of an electric vehicle and also the biggest difference from internal combustion engine vehicles. The electric drive and control system consists of a drive motor, power source, and speed control device for the motor. Other devices of electric vehicles are basically the same as those of internal combustion engine vehicles.

Can I still go to the DMV to choose a license plate after selecting one online?

No, you need to wait for three working days before you can go to the DMV to select a new license plate. Below are the relevant details: License Plate Selection Opportunities: You have two chances to select a license plate—once online through the DMV website and once at the DMV office. Carefully enter the vehicle identification number (VIN) and personal information as required by the system. The information entered must exactly match the registration details at the DMV; otherwise, the selection will be invalid. Important Notes: Once you successfully select a license plate online, the number will be reserved for three working days starting from the next day. During this period, vehicles that have already successfully selected a license plate number online are not allowed to choose another number or modify the submitted information via the internet. If you are unsatisfied with the online selection, you can log back into the online license plate selection system after three working days to choose a new number that you find satisfactory.

Here is some relevant information: Car Air Conditioning: The air conditioning system, abbreviated as AC, is used to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to an optimal state. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces travel fatigue, creates good working conditions for the driver, and ensures driving safety. Air Conditioning Maintenance: The air filter should be replaced regularly to prevent bacterial growth and musty odors in the AC system. Additionally, the condenser should be cleaned periodically, and the radiator should be removed for thorough cleaning.

Does a leased vehicle on the driving license belong to a commercial vehicle?

A leased vehicle on the driving license belongs to a non-commercial vehicle. If a vehicle from a leasing company is rented by an individual or an organization for non-profit purposes to meet their own travel needs, it is considered a non-commercial vehicle. Below are the relevant details: Non-commercial motor vehicles: As the name suggests, non-commercial motor vehicles are those not used for profit-making purposes. Non-commercial motor vehicles are not allowed to participate in commercial activities; otherwise, they will be penalized. If participation in commercial activities is required, the vehicle's nature must be changed at the vehicle management office of the traffic management department under the public security authority where the vehicle is registered. Commercial vehicles refer to those that have been approved by the competent authority by the end of the reporting period to participate in commercial activities. Key considerations: The distinction between whether a vehicle is a road transport commercial vehicle lies in whether it has obtained the vehicle operating license issued by the road transport management agency along with the road transport business license.
