What is the normal tire pressure for a Camry?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for a Camry is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and decreased by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. If you want to check the current tire pressure of your Camry during daily driving, you can activate the tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure values will be displayed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel. The specific method is to use the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the left menu bar, where there is a vehicle icon. Clicking on it will show the specific tire pressure values. Generally, a tire pressure above 2.8 bar is considered too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: 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 lifespan; increased body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, and increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causing heavy steering and deviation, which are unfavorable for driving safety; increased movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, it will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are needed. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to stay on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also come on. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
