How to Check the Tire Pressure of Volkswagen Tharu?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tharu is equipped with a passive tire pressure monitoring system, which only displays information on the dashboard when there is an abnormality in the tires. The display does not show specific values but indicates which tire has a problem. Below is relevant information: 1. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and its damage will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. 2. Air pressure is the lifeblood of the tire; both too high and too low will shorten the tire's lifespan. Low air pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to cracks on the tire side, along with flexing movements that cause excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating wear on the tire shoulder. 3. Excessive air pressure causes the tire cords to undergo excessive stretching and deformation, reducing the tire body's elasticity. This increases the load on the car while driving, and impacts can lead to internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, high air pressure accelerates wear on the tire tread and reduces its resistance to rolling.
As a Volkswagen Tharu owner, I often check the tire pressure myself, which isn't complicated. First, buy a digital tire pressure gauge for about 20 yuan. After parking, wait for the tires to cool down—avoid driving for at least an hour—then unscrew each tire's valve cap and press the gauge to read the pressure. There's a sticker on the door frame with the recommended pressure, usually around 2.5 bar. If the pressure is low, go to a repair shop to inflate; if high, release some air slowly. Check every two weeks to extend tire life, save fuel, and improve safety, reducing the risk of blowouts at high speeds. The Volkswagen Tharu has an electronic tire pressure monitoring system—a dashboard icon lights up if abnormal—but it may not be timely, so manual checks are more reliable. Making this a habit ensures smoother and more worry-free driving.
