Tire Pressur
e
Unle
ss
the vehicle ran several kilometers at a
low speed in the past three hours, can the tire
pressure be checked and adjusted. The friction and
deflection deformation during traveling cause the
tire temperature rise and air expansion, resulting in
inaccurate inspection of tire pressure, so check the
tire pressure when they are cold.
The tire pressure described in this Manual is
based on the tire pressure in summer and winter
under cold condition. The hot tire pressure will be
higher than the cold tire pressure. If the cold tire
pressure meets the specification, do not let air out
when the tire becomes hot. Otherwise, the tire
pressure will be insufficient, resulting in sudden tire
burst during moving.
Whether the tire pressure is normal or not is
crucial for the vehicle moving at a high speed.
Therefore, check the tire pressure before long-
distance running. The pressure in the spare tire
shall be kept at the maximum pressure specified for
your vehicle.
Checking Tire Pressure
The standard
pressure data of the original tires
are also given on the tire information label on the
B-pillar on the driver’s si
de.
–
Look up the data label to find out tire pressure
suitable for this car (pressure listed is suitabl
e
for tires in summer and winter).
– Unscrew the protective cap of the valve stem
(If the protective cap is lost, be sure to re-
install a new one timely).
– Install the tire pressure gauge to the valve
stem.
– Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold.
When the temperature rises, the pressure is a
little bit highe
r than the s
pecification. But there
is no need to reduce the tire pressure.
-
Adjust the tire pressure according to the
vehicle’s load.
–
Remember to check the pressure of the spare
tire at the same time.
- Re-install and tighten the protective cap of the
valve stem.
Hint
For some models, the cluster screen can
display current tire pressure.
