When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are 4 possible scenarios: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system failure. Below is a detailed analysis of these 4 situations: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance or components. Possible causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the problem. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or low transmission fluid level. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark inside a horizontal line under a parenthesis represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting System Failure: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting system warning light, indicating a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses indicates a brake system warning, which could be due to brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to prevent accidents.

I've been driving my Haval H6 for just over a year and have encountered that yellow warning light with an exclamation mark flashing on the dashboard several times, which is quite annoying. The most common reason is low tire pressure - when the weather gets cold or after long drives, the pressure drops significantly, triggering the TPMS alarm. Another time, I had to check the manual to learn it might indicate a brake issue, like the parking brake not being fully released or low brake fluid level, which affects driving safety. My advice is to pull over immediately when you see this light, then use a simple tire pressure gauge to check all four tires. The standard pressure is listed in the user manual, typically around 230kPa for front tires and 220kPa for rear tires. If the pressure is normal, it could be a dirty or faulty sensor, so it's best to visit a 4S shop to read the fault codes for inspection. Get into the habit of checking tire pressure monthly - it can save you a lot of trouble, so don't neglect this maintenance routine.

What to Do When the Car's Underbody is Scraped and Leaking Water?

When this situation occurs, car owners need to check which part of the underbody is leaking water and then proceed to a 4S shop to repair the leaking area. Specific details are as follows: 1. Determine Whether It's Water or Oil Leakage: When liquid is leaking from the underbody, it's crucial to identify whether it's water or oil. Most family cars or SUVs are front-engine, front-wheel drive vehicles, with components like the engine oil pan and transmission oil pan located in the front half of the underbody. If the engine oil pan or transmission oil pan is damaged, it will result in oil leakage from the underbody. 2. Avoid Damaging the Pipes: There are numerous pipes on the car's underbody. If these pipes are damaged, it can also lead to oil leakage. Some rear-wheel-drive cars with longitudinally mounted engines have their transmission oil pans generally located in the middle of the vehicle body. It's important to avoid damaging the transmission oil pan while driving.

Water Leaking from the Rear of the Car

The reasons for water leaking under the car include: 1. Air conditioning water: The evaporator coil temperature is low, and the hot air inside the car condenses into water droplets, which then flow out through the drain pipe. 2. Possible scraping of the chassis may have damaged the windshield washer fluid tube, which can be fixed by replacing it at a repair shop. 3. Radiator leakage, usually located beneath the radiator, between the front bumper and the engine, and the car's dashboard will alert you. 4. If the water is colored, it indicates a leak in the cooling system. Additional Information: After driving for a while, if there is excessive mud or dirt on the chassis, use a degreasing cleaner to wash it thoroughly to reveal the original color of the chassis. Only then can rust-proof treatment begin. Proper rust-proofing ensures excellent protection for the car's chassis.
