What does correcting tire pressure mean?

Correcting tire pressure means that the tire pressure is abnormal and the tire pressure monitoring system is giving an alarm. First, you can check whether the tire pressure is normal, and then reset the tire pressure. Start the car with the dashboard in the mileage interface, press the directional key on the steering wheel to the right to the maintenance settings, select the tire pressure, and press the OK key to reset it. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for different tires is as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep," then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the original data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete.
I've been driving for almost twenty years, and correcting tire pressure means adjusting the air pressure inside the tires to the standard value recommended by the car manufacturer to ensure it's within the proper range. For example, there's usually a label on the side of each tire or in the owner's manual indicating the recommended pressure, typically in PSI units. This is crucial because overinflation can make tires prone to wear, bulging, and may even increase braking distance; underinflation, on the other hand, can lead to higher fuel consumption, uneven tire wear, and even blowouts at high speeds. Last month, my tire pressure was slightly low, and I felt the car handling was unstable, so I quickly checked it with a portable pressure gauge and inflated the tires to the correct level. It's best to check the pressure once a month, especially during seasonal changes when temperature fluctuations can affect it. The whole process is simple—just buy a pressure gauge and an air pump, and you can handle it yourself, saving both time and money. Never overlook this, as it directly impacts driving safety and your wallet.
