Just had the same question and found the answer... According to my manual for a Mercedes-Benz 560SL 1986 It is the Exterior light failure indicator lamp. "The light failure indicator comes on with the key in steering lock posion2 and will go out when the engine starts. If it comes on with the engine running, it indicates a a light failure. If an exterior light fails, the indicator will come on only when that light is switched on. If a brake or turn signal lights fails, the light failure indicator will come on when applying the brake or actuating the turn signal and stay on until the engine is turned off. CAUTION! If additional lighting equiment is installed (auxiliary headlamps ect.) to avoid damage to the failure indicator system, be certain to connect into the fuse before the failure indicator monitor unit.
The red exclamation point in a circle is the parking brake indicator.
Burned out exterior bulb
The dashboard light with an exclamation mark Honda CR-V (2007-) can mean 2 things:1. If the exclamation mark is "in a triangle" it is "VSA activation indicator" and it comes on, when the VSA is turned OFF by using the VSA OFF switch, or the VSA function is lost.2. If the exclamation mark is in a semi-circle it is "The low pressure indicator" and means you have to inflate your tires to a recommended pressure.
with your hand
parking, or emergency brake
it m eans that either a bulb has blown or there is a fault on the lighting circuit
if it's in what looks like parenthesis then its your tire pressure warning light.
what year was the exclamation mark invented in
someone else- It is an exclamation mark. me- well i think it would be an exclamation point because at the end of the thing it has a dot. Like a point. So i think it should be a point and not a mark. me- But exclamation mark is what it is called.
It means that a bulb has blown. I had it come on this morning because I had a blown headlight bulb
in sentences there can be an exclamation mark in it!
"Between" an exclamation mark? Exclamation marks do not change the normal rules of capitalization.
