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 to Fix a Locked Rear Wheel on a Polo?

First, drive forward and backward three times, but avoid making the movements too large. Otherwise, the brake pads and brake drum may not separate, causing the tire to be forcibly dragged and wear out. Pour 100°C boiling water between the brake pads and brake drum. The thermal expansion might cause them to separate automatically, and then you can try the above method again. Gently tap both sides—this might help separate them. If that doesn't work, you can kick the tire a few times, which might also help.
