What is the appropriate tire pressure for Camry?
1 Answers
The recommended tire pressure range for Camry is between 2.4bar and 2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. Camry's tire pressure monitoring can be viewed on the dashboard. Operate through the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel. The specific operation method is: the left menu button has a vehicle icon (below the music icon), pressing this icon will display the tire pressure. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerating wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire life; increased body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causing heavy steering and deviation, affecting driving safety; increased movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead area, and abnormal wear; multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, rapid rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and sharp decline in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow icon, an irregular circle without a seal, with four small spikes below and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tire, the tire pressure was not reset in time, causing the tire pressure monitoring system to still record the original data, and the tire pressure monitoring indicator light will remain on. At this time, simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure fault light to come on. For sensor damage, only a new replacement can be installed.
