The symbol for a driving braking system malfunction is an exclamation mark inside a circle, enclosed within parentheses. Additional information: 1. When the circle contains a "P": It indicates that the parking brake is engaged, meaning the handbrake is not released. 2. When the circle contains a "!": It indicates a malfunction or abnormality in the braking system. 3. It is not recommended to continue driving with a driving braking system malfunction: Because braking system malfunctions are often accompanied by issues such as brake failure, poor braking, braking deviation, or unstable braking. Without proper braking, there is no safety guarantee, and immediate inspection and repair are required.

I've been driving for over twenty years, and the brake system warning light is that indicator with an exclamation mark inside a circle on the dashboard. Whether it's constantly lit or flashing, it means there's an issue with the brakes. It could be due to low brake fluid, an ABS malfunction, or the handbrake not being fully released. Once, while driving on the highway, the light suddenly came on, and my heart raced. I immediately pulled over to check. It turned out the fluid level was low, so I quickly went to a gas station to buy and top up the fluid. Safety first—brake system issues pose too much risk. Don't hesitate; address it immediately. I recommend regularly checking the fluid level and brake pad wear during routine maintenance to avoid sudden failures that could damage your car or the road. Remember, this light cannot be ignored—it's about your driving safety. Neglecting it could lead to serious consequences, making repairs more expensive and troublesome.

In my daily car repair work, I encounter many brake system failure cases, indicated by the circle with an exclamation mark icon on the dashboard. The light indicates braking issues such as low fluid level, hydraulic system leaks, or electronic sensor failures. Common causes include worn brake pads or fluid leaks due to high temperature. I advise car owners not to panic but not to delay either. After stopping, first check the fluid reservoir - if low, add some as an emergency measure to ensure immediate functionality isn't lost. Then come to the shop for inspection as soon as possible. Brake system failure is extremely dangerous and may cause accidents. Regular maintenance is key - cleaning dust and checking pipelines can prevent issues. Safe driving is no trivial matter - respond promptly when warning lights appear.

How to Take the Subject 2 Driving Test on a Rainy Day?

Here are some tips for taking the Subject 2 driving test on a rainy day: 1. Check the mirrors: Before getting into the car, thoroughly clean both side mirrors. On rainy days, the mirrors are likely to be affected by fog or water droplets, which can obstruct your view and make it difficult to observe traffic behind you or accurately judge reference points. 2. Don’t close all windows: Avoid sealing all windows tightly due to the rain. If all windows are closed, the lack of air circulation inside the car can cause the windows to fog up, significantly impairing your visibility and potentially creating unsafe conditions.

What is the difference between a car amplifier and a DSP?

The differences between a car amplifier and a DSP are: 1. Connectivity with a computer: An amplifier cannot connect to a computer; a DSP can better manage the amplifier through a computer. 2. Effects: An amplifier does not have the processing capabilities of a DSP, resulting in poorer sound quality; a DSP can actively divide frequencies, apply delay processing, EQ tuning, etc., to make the audio sound better. A car amplifier is the audio power amplifier in a car audio-visual system. Its function is to select and preprocess the input audio signal, amplify the power, and enable the electrical signal to drive the speakers.
