What is the normal tire pressure for Lavida?

[ORylee]

The normal tire pressure range for Lavida is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and reduced by 0.1bar in summer. Lavida cannot display the tire pressure value because its tire pressure monitoring is automatic. If the tire pressure is abnormal, it will automatically alarm. To check the tire pressure, first prepare a tire pressure gauge, locate the position of the original tire pressure label, press the tire pressure gauge against the tire valve to measure and read the value. Remember to replace the valve cap after measuring. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. It usually alarms when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. The tire pressure monitoring was 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 come on. At this time, just reset the tire pressure. The tire pressure sensor is damaged. 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 tire pressure sensor is damaged while driving, it will also cause the tire pressure fault light to come on. For sensor damage, only a new replacement can be installed.

I've been driving my Lavida for five years, and tire pressure is something to take seriously. When unloaded, it's best to maintain 2.3bar for the front tires and 2.2bar for the rear tires, as clearly indicated on the label on the driver's door frame. Before long trips in the summer heat, it's advisable to reduce the pressure to 90% of the standard value. For example, last month when I was driving on the highway, I deliberately let out some air. The spare tire should have a higher pressure, around 2.7bar is safer. Remember, measuring tire pressure when the car is cold is the most accurate, meaning after the car has been parked for more than three hours or driven no more than two kilometers. A good tire pressure gauge can be bought for just over twenty yuan. Letting out some air when refueling can significantly extend the life of your tires.

Just helped my neighbor aunt check the tire pressure on her Lavida. The sticker inside the fuel cap is quite detailed: when carrying two passengers, front tires should be at 2.1 bar and rear tires at 2.0 bar; when fully loaded, all tires should be at 2.4 bar. With the large temperature difference between day and night this season, you'll notice the tire pressure is about 0.3 bar lower in the morning than at noon - no need to rush to add air. I also taught her how to check tire tread depth using a coin: if a one-yuan coin can be inserted into the central groove with the national emblem still visible, it's safe. Tire pressure affects fuel consumption and grip - a deviation of 0.5 bar can increase fuel consumption by half a liter per 100 kilometers.

Auto repair shop tip: The most accurate standard tire pressure for Lavida is on the B-pillar sticker, usually within 2.2-2.5 bar range. Add 0.1-0.2 bar in winter to compensate for thermal expansion/contraction, reduce by 10% on gravel roads for better traction. Don't panic if TPMS light comes on - it's usually slow leakage. Monthly visual checks for flat tires are basic; coin-shaped wear means it's time to inflate. Remember to keep spare tire at 3.0 bar year-round.

Paying special attention to tire pressure safety when driving with kids. Page 137 of the manual states the Lavida comfort tire pressure setting: front tires at 2.1bar and rear tires at 1.9bar can filter out bumps, but adjust to 2.3bar front and rear when fully loaded. Practical tests show that when the rear seats are fitted with child safety seats and tire pressure drops below 2.0bar, there's noticeably more body roll during turns. Now it's a good habit to use the digital tire pressure gauge at the car wash every time for a check, and also to look out for any nails. If a sudden drop of more than 15% in tire pressure on one side is detected, an immediate inspection is absolutely necessary.
