The normal tire pressure range for Nissan Teana 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. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. If you want to check the current tire pressure of Teana during daily driving, you can activate the tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure value will be displayed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel. The specific method is to press the square button on the left side of the steering wheel to bring up the tire pressure monitoring and display the specific tire pressure value. Generally speaking, a tire pressure above 2.8bar is too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0bar is too low. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; it will cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; it will accelerate the local wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan; the vibration of the car body will increase, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; it will cause excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body, and increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface will increase, leading to higher fuel consumption; it will make the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; it will increase the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; it will reduce the function of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; the friction between the tire and the ground will multiply, causing a sharp rise in 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, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, with an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three 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 needed. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, 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. Tire pressure sensor damage: 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 during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure fault light to come on. For sensor damage, only a new replacement can be installed.

I remember my neighbor Old Zhang, who drove a Teana for several years, said the tire pressure mainly refers to the sticker on the door frame. For the new models, 2.3 to 2.5 bar is normal, while older models might be slightly higher. It's common for the front tires to be 0.1 bar lower than the rear tires, especially if the trunk is often loaded with cargo. Once in winter, he inflated them to 2.4 bar, but after driving on the highway, the tire temperature rose to 2.7, causing particularly loud tire noise. Since then, he keeps the cold tire pressure at 2.3. Don’t forget the spare tire—it should always be maintained at around 3.0 bar. It’s best to check with a mechanical gauge twice a month, as electronic monitors can sometimes give false readings. Keeping the Teana’s tire pressure well-controlled not only saves fuel but also ensures a stable ride, and can even shorten braking distances during the rainy season.

During the last maintenance, the technician reminded me that the standard tire pressure for the Teana is usually 2.3 bar, but it's best to reduce it to 2.2 in summer to avoid tire blowouts. The tire pressure monitoring light on the car always comes on during cold starts, and it was later found to be due to system delay. They tested it with professional equipment for half an hour and suggested that a tire pressure fluctuation of no more than 0.3 bar is ideal. If you often drive on gravel roads, you can increase it to 2.6 to improve passability, but on asphalt roads, exceeding 2.4 will cause the steering wheel to shake. Remember to ask the mechanic to check the aging of the valve stem rubber seals during maintenance, as an older Teana model once experienced uneven tire wear due to air leakage.

The standard tire pressure for the Teana is indicated on the driver's door frame or inside the fuel filler cap. For most model years, the recommended cold tire pressure is maintained within the range of 2.3-2.5 bar. For every 0.3 bar decrease in tire pressure, fuel consumption increases by approximately 3%. It is recommended to keep the front tires 0.1-0.2 bar lower than the rear tires to enhance handling. Adjustments should be made during seasonal changes, as tire pressure fluctuates by about 0.1 bar for every 8°C change in ambient temperature. If abnormal wear is observed on one side of the tire, it is often due to incorrect tire pressure or suspension issues. For vehicles over 30,000 kilometers, monthly checks are advised, as a tire pressure deviation exceeding 15% may lead to tire blowouts.
