The yellow triangle warning light with an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates a general fault warning light. The possible causes for its appearance are: 1. Overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch; 2. Fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction; 3. Parking sensor issues; 4. Abnormal external light circuit; 5. Engine oil pressure sensor malfunction; 6. Traction control system warning or fault. Solutions for the yellow triangle warning light with an exclamation mark on the car dashboard include: 1. Checking brake pad wear; 2. Verifying brake fluid level is normal; 3. Promptly replenishing brake fluid. The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working status of various vehicle systems, including: fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front/rear fog light indicators, and warning lights.
Last time I was driving, I also encountered this yellow triangle warning light, which really made my heart race. This light is a general warning indicator, most commonly indicating low tire pressure. You should pull over immediately to check if any of the four tires are flat, especially since temperature fluctuations these days can easily trigger false alarms. Sometimes driving too much on gravel roads or failing to reset the tire pressure monitoring system after changing tires can also cause this light to come on. If the tires look fine but the light remains on, it might be due to the electronic parking brake not being fully released or the automatic braking system acting up. I remember last year during heavy snowfall, my colleague's car had this yellow light on because the brake sensor froze - it went away after blowing hot air on the brake pads. You should never ignore this warning light. The safest approach is to drive to a repair shop to scan for trouble codes.
