How to Check Tire Pressure?
General remark
The correct tire pressure can prolong the service
life of tires. It can also ensure the best
combination of driving comfort, fuel economy
and drivability.
When the tire pressure is too low, it will
intensify tire wear, greatly affect the drivability
and fuel economy of the vehicle and increase
the danger of lost tire effectiveness. If the tire
pressure is too high, it will cause driving
instability and uneven tire wear, thus reducing
the service life of the tires.
Check tire pressure at a frequency of at least
once a month. Check tire pressure after driving
on rough roads or before a long drive (including
spare tires) .Spare wheel pressure shall be
4.2bar.
Check tire pressure must be in cold condition, A
cold tire is a vehicle that does not travel for at
least three hours or no more than 1.6km.Refer to
"tire information label" for tire pressure
standards in cold condition.
Tire information label
A tire information label is pasted to the C-pillar
on the driver’s side. Be sure to inflate tires
according to the tire pressure specified on the
label.
Check the tire pressure
Use the pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure when the tire is cold.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve
mouth and check the valve mouth for air
leakage by soap method.
Tips
●An appropriate amount of soap can be
added to the clear water and applied on
the valve mouth to observe whether there
are bubbles. If there are bubbles, it
