For vehicles with hydraulic brakes, you need to crawl under the car and use a long flat-head screwdriver to adjust the tension spring of the brake shoes. Locate the square rubber plug beneath the two hydraulic lines, remove it, and then use the screwdriver to adjust the teeth inside. Below is some related information about foot brakes and handbrakes: 1. Foot Brake: A foot-operated parking brake, as the name suggests, is controlled by the foot and is commonly found in automatic transmission vehicles. 2. Handbrake: The traditional 'handbrake' is operated by hand, with an operating force of less than 200N (equivalent to 20 kilograms of force). However, for many women who lack strength, this operation is not very user-friendly, often resulting in insufficient parking brake force and causing the vehicle to roll. The foot-operated parking brake effectively resolves this issue.

What is the standard tire pressure for the Geely Boyue?

The normal tire pressure range for the Boyue is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. To check the current tire pressure of the Boyue during daily driving, you can activate the tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure values will be displayed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel. The tire pressure monitoring button for the Boyue is located at the top of the lever under the steering wheel on the left side, marked with a round button. Simply switch to the tire pressure monitoring system interface. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of over-inflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of under-inflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually triggers an alarm when below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it will trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
