What does the yellow triangle exclamation mark in Magotan mean?
2 Answers
If a yellow triangle exclamation mark appears on the dashboard, it may indicate a fault in the braking system. When this light comes on, first check if the handbrake is fully released. If the light remains on after releasing the handbrake, it is necessary to inspect whether the brake fluid level is normal or if the brake pads are too thin. Below is more information about dashboard exclamation marks: 1. A triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle: This is a general fault indicator light. It may light up under the following conditions: overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch; intervention or failure of the fuel cutoff system; parking sensor failure; external light failure; engine oil pressure sensor failure; traction control system warning or failure. 2. A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle: This is a brake system warning light. It may light up under the following conditions: in some vehicles, it lights up for a few seconds after turning on the ignition and turns off after starting the engine; it lights up when the handbrake is engaged and turns off when released; low brake fluid level, lighting up during driving; brake system failure causing it to light up.
I've been driving for several years and have encountered the yellow triangle warning light with an exclamation mark in the Magotan several times. It's usually a general warning indicating that there's an issue with a certain system in the vehicle, but it doesn't specify the exact problem. The most common causes are low tire pressure or a tire puncture, so checking the tire pressure is the first step. It could also be a brake system warning, such as low brake fluid or an electronic stability program malfunction. When this happens, it's recommended to pull over immediately to check the tire condition and pressure. If everything seems fine, drive to a professional repair shop as soon as possible to scan for fault codes. Don't take it lightly—once, a friend of mine ignored it, and a minor engine issue worsened on the road, costing much more to repair. Safety comes first, especially before long-distance drives; make sure everything is in order.
