New car tire pressure is appropriate between 2.3bar and 2.5bar, and the specific pressure should be based on the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure. The following are reference factors regarding tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: a. Winter: Based on the standard tire pressure of the car, it is appropriate to increase it by about 0.2bar. b. Summer: Based on the standard tire pressure of the car, it is appropriate to decrease it by about 0.1bar to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 2. Load factors: a. Empty load: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's label can be used as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). b. Full load: When fully loaded, follow the upper limit of the standard tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure indicated on the tire can be used as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure).

When driving a new car, I pay the most attention to tire pressure because it directly affects safety and cost savings. Generally, new car tire pressure ranges between 30 to 35 PSI, but the exact value depends on your specific model. There's usually a sticker label on the door frame indicating the standard pressure, and the owner's manual provides detailed instructions. Low pressure increases fuel consumption and causes faster wear on the tire edges, while overinflation makes the tire center bulge, leading to unstable handling. I check the pressure monthly with a simple gauge, especially when the tires are cold—measured after the car has been parked overnight. Don’t neglect the spare tire either; maintain the same pressure, or it might be useless in an emergency. Weather has a big impact: in summer, heat causes expansion, so avoid excessive pressure; in winter, cold leads to contraction, possibly requiring a top-up. In short, maintaining proper tire pressure from the start ensures safe driving, extends tire life, and is both economical and hassle-free.

When traveling with the whole family in a new car, tire pressure is particularly important, especially when carrying children, as comfort and stability are key. The standard tire pressure is usually around 32 PSI, but different cars and tires have varying requirements—check the manual or the door label. High pressure makes handling stiff, which can easily make kids carsick; low pressure causes noticeable bumps and faster tire wear. The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) in new cars is very useful, automatically alerting you to abnormalities and allowing you to check real-time data via the car's display or a mobile app. I recommend checking the pressure when the tires are cold in the morning and topping them up using the car's built-in tools or a portable air pump. Different tire types, like all-season tires, require timely adjustments, so ensure the pressure is correct before long trips. Protecting family safety starts with simple maintenance.

Years of experience with new cars have taught me that tire pressure is not to be taken lightly. Improper pressure once led to a tire blowout, a lesson learned the hard way. For new cars, setting the tire pressure between 30 to 35 PSI is ideal, but always check the door sticker or manual for specifics. Temporarily increase pressure when carrying heavy loads to prevent side roll. Seasonal changes have a significant impact: in winter, tires are harder, so slightly higher pressure helps prevent skidding; in summer, heat causes expansion, so avoid overinflation. A manual check with a pressure gauge is cheap and reliable. Simple maintenance ensures driving safety, making it a priority in new car care.

As a new car owner, tire pressure affects driving smoothness and safety. The standard pressure range is between 30 to 35 PSI, refer to the owner's manual for confirmation. Low pressure leads to higher fuel consumption and shorter tire lifespan; excessive pressure reduces grip and increases risks. I use a pressure gauge for regular checks, measuring when tires are cold for accuracy. Special conditions like off-road tires may require higher pressure. It's recommended to maintain spare tires at the same pressure, as neglecting them can cause issues. Proper maintenance ensures comfortable and worry-free driving.

What are the advantages of Chery's 9-speed CVT over the 7-speed version?

Advantages of the 9-speed CVT: When purchasing a car, consumers mainly consider factors such as price, reliability of the core components, comfort, space, and fuel consumption. Chery's technologically advanced Wanliyang 9-speed CVT has already been installed in many popular domestic models (such as Geely Vision SUV, Emgrand GL, and Emgrand GS), so there's no need to worry about quality issues. It maintains the characteristics of a CVT, offering smooth driving without jerks, though it slightly lacks in driving excitement. However, it excels in smoothness and low fuel consumption, making it an excellent choice for family use. Due to the structure of the CVT transmission, it's advisable to avoid heavy acceleration from a standstill to prevent belt slippage, which could affect transmission efficiency and even the lifespan of the transmission. As for fuel consumption, the simulated 7-speed version, which is the previous generation product compared to the 9-speed, averages around 6 in suburban areas, over 8 in congested urban areas, and as low as 3.7 on highways.

Is it normal for coolant to be consumed?

It is normal for automotive coolant to be consumed. Coolant serves to cool the car engine, which often operates at high temperatures during work. Since the coolant comes into contact with the engine, some consumption is a normal phenomenon. Methods to determine if coolant is low: Observe the coolant warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low coolant, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the coolant reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving; add coolant promptly. Inspect the water level markings on the coolant overflow tank. The coolant level should normally be between the maximum and minimum marks. If the coolant is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage. Precautions for replacing coolant: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leaks or cracks in the pipes. Pay special attention to the five-way water pipe, which gets its name from having five connections to various parts. The coolant is distributed to different sections of the car after flowing through this pipe. If there are signs of coolant leakage in this area, replace the hose or re-secure the connections as needed.
