How Long Does It Take to Calibrate the Tire Pressure on a Lynk & Co 01?
3 Answers
The tire pressure calibration for a Lynk & Co 01 generally takes about half an hour. It is recommended to check the tire pressure at least once a month for any vehicle, and adjustments should be made with each seasonal change. The ideal times for adjustment are in November and May. In November, as winter approaches, tire pressure typically decreases and should be slightly adjusted. Additional Information: 1. Excessive tire pressure in car tires can lead to blowouts. The air inside the tires is susceptible to expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. High tire pressure reduces the tire's resistance to punctures, making it more vulnerable to nails, glass, and other debris on the road, which can cause a blowout. 2. Overinflated tires reduce friction, increasing the risk of ineffective braking during sudden stops. 3. High tire pressure negatively impacts tire lifespan. Excessive pressure causes the tire to over-expand, leading to prolonged deformation that reduces elasticity. Additionally, it accelerates tread wear, shortening the tire's service life. 4. Overinflated tires amplify vibrations transmitted to the vehicle, such as through the steering wheel, thereby increasing driving hazards.
Last time I helped a friend with the tire pressure calibration for the Lynk & Co 01. There's actually a small button in the car—either on the center console or the left side of the steering wheel—that you press, and a beep sound starts the calibration process. You need to drive for a while, about ten minutes or so, and the system will automatically monitor the tire pressure. During this process, it's best to maintain steady driving without sudden acceleration or braking to avoid affecting the readings. For new car owners, remember to ensure all tire pressures are normal before calibration. If the tires are underinflated, calibration alone won't help—you'll need to inflate them first. Make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly and calibrate it properly to avoid unexpected blowout risks, especially before hitting the highway.
I've been driving the same model for two or three years, and tire pressure calibration is a routine matter. Every time, I just press a button to initiate it while parked, then drive normally for about ten minutes to complete the process—no need to stop and wait specifically. The duration mainly depends on road conditions: it might take a bit longer in congested city traffic, but definitely within 20 minutes; on smooth highways, it's faster, roughly 5 minutes. The key to calibration is that the system needs time to collect data and adjust parameters—too short a time won't suffice. It's advisable to calibrate immediately after inflating or changing tires to avoid delays that could affect accuracy, as incorrect tire pressure can increase fuel consumption and pose safety risks.
