What is the normal tire pressure for a Chevrolet Malibu?

[OLaila]

The normal tire pressure range for a Chevrolet Malibu is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Malibu does not come with a tire pressure monitoring system from the factory. It is recommended to purchase a tire pressure gauge, locate the original tire pressure label position, press the gauge onto the tire valve to measure and read the pressure, and remember to replace the valve cap after checking. Additionally, a tire pressure monitoring system can be installed. Generally, a tire pressure above 2.8 bar is considered too high, and below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflation: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflation: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in all parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a 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 causes: Abnormal tire pressure. Typically, 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 promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to stay on. Simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will activate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.
