How to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring on the Trumpchi GA4?
2 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring on the Trumpchi GS4 can be viewed on the dashboard. The vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system that provides automatic alarm prompts, requiring no manual operation. When the tire pressure light needs to be reset, if the tire pressure sensor hasn't been replaced, the light will automatically turn off after driving a certain distance. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both the above systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires as a direct system can.
I always check the tire pressure monitoring system before driving, and the GAC GA4 makes it especially convenient. As soon as I start the car, I glance at the dashboard: if a small yellow tire-shaped light comes on, that's the tire pressure anomaly warning, and I need to address it immediately. If the light isn't on but I want to check the specific values, I navigate to the central control screen, tap the 'Settings' or 'Vehicle Information' menu, and select 'Tire Pressure' to display the pressure for each tire. The normal range is usually around 2.3 to 2.5 bar, and there's a recommended value label on the door frame. In winter, low temperatures can cause tire pressure to drop, while in summer, hot weather might make it too high, so it's best to check it monthly with an air pump. Low tire pressure not only wastes fuel but also accelerates tire wear and poses safety risks. Sometimes, after an alert, you may need to reset the system by holding down the control button on the steering wheel. Making this a habit ensures a safer and more economical drive.
