How to reset the tire pressure of Trumpchi GM8?
2 Answers
First, adjust the tire pressure to an average level, then use a tire pressure reset tool to reset each tire one by one, and finally manually eliminate and match the tire pressure. The Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring function, which allows you to determine whether the tire pressure is normal by checking the data displayed on the dashboard's tire pressure monitor. The directional keys and OK button on the right side of the steering wheel are the dashboard control keys. Below are specific details about tire pressure: 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 excessive and insufficient pressure will shorten the tire's lifespan. Insufficient pressure increases the deformation of the tire body, making it prone to cracks on the sidewalls and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat generation, rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. 3. Excessive pressure will overstretch and deform the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the car while driving. If impacted, it may cause internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, excessive pressure accelerates wear on the tire crown and reduces its resistance to rolling.
I remember when I drove the GAC GM8 before, tire pressure reset was quite common. After changing tires or inflating, the warning light would keep flashing, and a reset was needed to clear it. The operation is simple: after starting the car, stay in place, find the dashboard menu on the left button of the steering wheel, select the Tire Pressure Monitoring System in the vehicle settings, and confirm by pressing the reset button. After resetting, drive slowly for a kilometer or two to let the sensors learn the new pressure. Why reset? The sensors remember old values and might give false alarms, like beeping when pressure fluctuates, which can be distracting. Keeping tire pressure at the standard 2.3-2.5 Bar ensures accurate resets. I check tire pressure weekly for safety and fuel efficiency, and the reset process takes just half a minute—don’t skip it.
