What does the yellow exclamation mark warning light in Volkswagen Lavida mean?
1 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are four possible scenarios: general fault, automatic transmission fault, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting fault. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance or certain components and functions have malfunctioned. This could include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is an issue with the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light will illuminate when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check. Focus on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circled bracket, which represents a warning for the braking system. This could indicate a braking system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to avoid accidents.
