What is the appropriate tire pressure for the Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
The appropriate tire pressure for the Roewe RX5 is generally between 2.3-2.5 bar. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. In summer, it is generally recommended to follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure, such as 2.4 bar for standard tires. However, if the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be slightly lower than the standard by about 0.1 bar to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will continue to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. In this case, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for over three years, and tire pressure is something you really need to pay attention to. The standard setting is usually between 2.3 to 2.5 bar, depending on your car's manual—there's also a label on the door frame that indicates it. In summer when it's very hot, the tire pressure might be slightly higher, but as long as it doesn't exceed the upper limit, it's fine; otherwise, the tires can wear out faster. In winter when it's cold, the tire pressure tends to drop, so it's advisable to check it monthly to ensure it stays within the standard range. Improper tire pressure doesn't just waste fuel—it can also make the car feel shaky, reduce handling stability, and pose safety risks. I remember once before a long trip, I didn't check, and while driving on the highway, the steering felt loose. Later, I measured the tire pressure and found it was only 1.8 bar—scared me enough to top it up immediately. Make it a habit to keep a tire pressure gauge in the car and adjust the pressure to the standard value when filling up. It saves money and gives peace of mind.
