What is the normal tire pressure for the Ant?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for the Chery Ant ranges between 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 complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard. To check the current tire pressure of the Ant 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 press the CAR button and switch to the tire pressure monitoring system interface. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: 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 various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in 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 at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, it will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. 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 illuminate. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also turn on. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
