Why does the Volkswagen Sagitar display a red exclamation mark?
1 Answers
Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses) indicates a warning related to the braking system, primarily signaling either a malfunction in the braking system or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating braking system issues, other exclamation marks on the vehicle are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission issues, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light malfunctions, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. A visit to a 4S shop is necessary to diagnose and address the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Timely replacement of transmission fluid is required. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in 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 lighting to identify the issue.
