If the car is used for a long time, it will inevitably fail.
The following faults are not very eye-catching. It may just be that a light is on at dashboard. It is not a big deal. In fact, it may have a great impact on the car and even affect the driving safety, it needs to be handled as soon as possible.
// Steering assist system trouble light//
Turning on the steering power alarm light means that the steering power system fails. At this time, the steering power may be weakened or completely disappeared. During driving, the power suddenly disappears or sometimes disappears, therefore, it is very dangerous.
This fault cannot be checked or repaired by yourself, and it needs to be repaired at a professional maintenance station. Car owners can drive cautiously at low speed to the nearest maintenance station or wait for rescue.
// Brake system trouble light//
If the brake system trouble light is on, make sure that the handbrake is completely released. If the handbrake is still on, check whether the brake fluid liquid level is normal or whether the brake pad is too thin.
At this time, if the braking force is not weakened, you can drive carefully and go to the nearest repair shop for maintenance as soon as possible. After all, the braking quality is directly related to people's driving safety.
// Water temperature lamp alarm//
Symptoms: when driving normally, the water-thermometer pointer of the car is usually around 90 degrees. If the pointer reaches the red alarm wire position, you must pay attention to it and stop the car immediately for inspection.
When the meter reminds that the water temperature is too high, it means that the car engine is in an abnormal high temperature state. After a long period of time, the parts will be damaged due to additional impact load, and even cause spontaneous combustion accidents.
Therefore, if the engine is found to have high temperature, the first thing is to stop the car, then turn on the engine hatch cover, check the cause, and deal with it according to the specific situation.
However, 2.1 must be noted: ① the engine cannot be turned off immediately. If the engine is turned off at high temperature and the water pump stops rotating, the local temperature of the engine will rise rapidly, it may even lead to serious mechanical faults such as piston melting; ② cold water cannot be added to the engine immediately, otherwise it may cause the engine cylinder to cool suddenly, and there is a risk of cracking.
// Tire pressure warning light//
The tire pressure monitoring indicator light is always on. There are usually three situations:
1. The tire is pricked
2. High tire pressure
3. Low tire overvoltage
No matter under what circumstances, as long as the tire pressure warning light is on, it is necessary to reduce the speed and find a safe place to stop, because the tire has lost pressure at this time, and it is easy to have a tire burst.
// Oil pressure warning light//
This indicator light, which looks like lamp of Aladdin, is the oil pressure warning light.
When the light is on, it means that the oil stock and pressure are lower than the standard value. If you continue driving, the engine will lose lubrication and cause serious wear.
Stop the car immediately, wait for a period of time and then open the machine cover carefully (don't open it immediately after parking, be careful to burn) to check the oil volume of the machine. If the oil volume is small, you need to replenish the oil as soon as possible. Once the engine jitter occurs and the noise becomes louder, you must pull over and contact the rescue.
If there is no shortage of engine oil, the engine oil warning light is still on, which may be due to the damage of engine oil system parts or abnormal pressure, and further inspection is needed. Do not continue driving, otherwise it may expand the fault and cause the engine to be scrapped in serious cases.
