What is the appropriate tire pressure for Wuling Hongguang S?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for Wuling Hongguang S is 2.4-2.5bar. 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 requirements. The Wuling Hongguang S is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which allows you to check the tire pressure by pressing the TPMS button in the central control panel area. The TPMS effectively monitors tire usage, real-time tire pressure, and tire temperature to ensure driving safety. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; accelerates uneven wear on the central tread, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting other components; overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing driving load. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes steering heavy and prone to deviation, compromising safety; increases movement of tire parts, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; weakens cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the TPMS warning light illuminates (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), it is usually due to one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically triggers an alarm when below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, inspect and adjust the tire pressure. TPMS not reset: After inflating the tires, failing to reset the TPMS promptly causes the system to retain old data, lighting the warning light. Simply reset the TPMS to resolve this. Damaged TPMS 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 warning light will activate. A damaged sensor must be replaced.
