How to Handle Abnormal Tire Pressure Display on BAIC X35?

Tire pressure monitoring light illuminated due to a punctured tire usually indicates very slow air leakage, making it difficult to immediately identify which tire is affected. In this case, use a tire pressure gauge to measure - front tires should be 2.3 bar and rear tires 2.5 bar. If pressure is insufficient, inflate to the proper level and then observe the tire pressure warning light. The tire pressure monitoring light may also illuminate due to excessive tire pressure. According to international standard GBT2978-2008, passenger car tire inflation pressure should meet the requirements in tables 1-15: standard tires 2.4-2.5 bar, reinforced tires 2.8-2.9 bar, with maximum pressure not exceeding 3.5 bar. Therefore, when any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it may trigger the tire pressure warning light. Prolonged driving with low tire pressure can also cause the monitoring light to illuminate. This typically occurs when a tire's pressure is too low, causing increased tire temperature during high-speed operation which then raises the pressure. In such cases, promptly stop to rest or replace with a spare tire.
Yesterday my BAIC X35 also popped up a tire pressure anomaly alert, which made me a bit nervous, but experience told me to stay calm and handle it properly: I immediately found a safe spot to pull over and checked the tires for obvious damage or air leaks. Finding none, I took out my portable tire pressure gauge to measure each tire's pressure one by one—the standard value listed on the door frame label is 2.2-2.4 Bar. It turned out the left front tire was slightly low, possibly due to a slow leak; I topped it up using a gas station air pump, then restarted the car to see if the warning light would turn off automatically. If it didn’t, it meant the tire pressure system needed a manual reset, which could be done in the steering wheel settings menu; if it still stayed on, the sensor might be faulty, requiring a professional repair shop scan. Never ignore this warning—unstable pressure at high speeds can lead to blowouts. Developing a habit of checking tire pressure monthly saves a lot of trouble. This experience made me pay more attention to preventive details.
When the tire pressure warning light came on, as an avid car enthusiast, I excitedly pulled over to investigate: first inspecting all four tires for nails, then using a tire pressure gauge to check the readings—adjustments are needed if the pressure is too low or high, with the reference value typically around 2.3 Bar. After balancing, start the vehicle to let the system recognize the changes; if unsuccessful, a reset might be necessary (for my car, it's in the dashboard settings). If the alarm persists, it could indicate a TPMS sensor malfunction or wheel hub issue, requiring a visit to the shop with diagnostic tools to read the error codes. Additionally, weather changes can cause pressure fluctuations, so I keep a portable air pump handy for quick adjustments. Safety is paramount—ignoring this could damage tires and increase fuel consumption; regular maintenance naturally reduces such issues.
