What is the normal tire pressure for the Geely Boyue?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for the Geely Boyue is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Geely Boyue's tire pressure monitoring can be viewed on the dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0bar is too low. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 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 the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction 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 with the ground, rapidly increasing 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. The system usually alerts if the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. 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 still records the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply resetting the tire pressure will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
As a car owner, I believe the normal tire pressure for the Geely Boyue is generally between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. You can refer to the sticker on the door edge or the vehicle manual for detailed instructions. If the tire pressure is too high, the car will feel stiff and the shock absorption will be poor. If the tire pressure is too low, the tires are prone to deformation, wear out faster, and increase fuel consumption. For example, I always check the tire pressure before driving on the highway, keeping it around 2.3 bar for the most comfortable ride. In winter, when temperatures are low, the tire pressure may drop slightly, while in summer, it should be adjusted slightly higher to prevent blowouts. If you can't find the official data, you can visit a 4S shop to have their tire pressure gauge measure it for you, avoiding any issues from improper adjustments. Remember, checking the tire pressure every quarter can extend tire life and ensure a smooth and safe drive.
