After the Changan CS35 is turned off, the red light flashing on the dashboard indicates that the car's anti-theft indicator light is in either the armed or disarmed state, with different flashing frequencies for each state. In the armed state, the anti-theft indicator light flashes once every second in a cycle; in the disarmed state, it flashes once every two seconds in a cycle. The red light flashing on the dashboard after the car is turned off is the anti-theft system indicator. The car anti-theft system is designed to prevent theft of the car itself or items inside, consisting of an electronically controlled remote or key, electronic control circuit, alarm device, and actuator. The Changan CS35 is a compact SUV produced by Changan Automobile, offering a choice between a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L turbocharged engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

What does the exclamation mark on BMW dashboard mean?

The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many dashboard indicator lights with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning lights: General fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Main issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system failure or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in the car lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or check by yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the fault lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two different colors, yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the corresponding repair point for maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards in time. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In this case, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and call for professional help to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety caused by forced driving. It should be noted that when the car is started, all lights will turn on, and the system will perform an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights will automatically turn off. If a light does not turn on when the ignition is turned on, remains on without turning off, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for car inspection to eliminate potential safety hazards.
