Can You Still Drive with a Tire Pressure Warning in a Haval Car?
2 Answers
You should not drive a Haval car when the tire pressure warning is on. If the tire pressure light illuminates while driving, it is recommended to reduce speed, maintain control of the steering wheel, and find a safe place to inspect the tires. Whether the tire pressure light disappears afterward or not, you should visit a nearby repair shop for a recheck to avoid potential accidents during subsequent driving. For car tire maintenance, it is important to observe the tire condition before traveling. Radial tires, commonly known as low-pressure tires, are fine as long as the flatness is not too low—if they feel firm and not soft when pressed with your foot, they are normal. High-pressure tires, which are bias-ply tires with inner tubes, should not have protruding shoulders when viewed from the front, and the contact area with the ground should appear normal when viewed from the side. Under normal circumstances, you should check and replenish tire pressure at a professional tire repair shop every week.
When the tire pressure warning light comes on, you really need to be alert because it's warning you that there's an issue with your tires, possibly due to pressure being too low or too high. I experienced this while driving my Haval—I stubbornly drove a few kilometers, and the tire went completely flat, nearly causing an accident on the highway. Abnormal tire pressure increases the risk of a blowout, especially in rainy conditions or on bumpy roads, and can also make the vehicle unstable, affecting braking. While you might still be able to move slowly for a short distance to reach a repair shop, I strongly recommend pulling over safely immediately to check for leaks or nails in the tire, using the spare if necessary. For regular maintenance, remember to check tire pressure monthly—Haval’s manual usually lists the recommended values on the door frame, and maintaining it saves money and keeps you safe.
