Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and its level plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. A tire pressure of 2.9 bar is not normal; the standard tire pressure for regular tires is between 2.4 and 2.5 bar, making 2.9 bar too high. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement of various tire parts, 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 bead area 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 blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator lights up (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal Tire Pressure: Typically alerts when pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. Immediate tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tires, failing to reset the tire pressure monitoring system means it still records the old data, causing the indicator to light up. Simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the tire pressure warning light will activate. Damaged sensors must be replaced with new ones.
