What is the normal tire pressure for the Geely Emgrand GL?
1 Answers
The standard tire pressure range for the Geely Emgrand GL 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 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in the Emgrand GL is located on the dashboard. The TPMS does not display specific pressure or temperature values for each tire but only shows a TPMS warning symbol and a tire pressure anomaly warning symbol. These two symbols are located on the dashboard below the driver's position. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and misalignment, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening its lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and misalignment, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; weakens the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead 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 lead to tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light turns on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), it is generally due to one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually triggers an alarm when below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tire needs to be checked and the pressure adjusted. 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 indicator light to turn on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will turn on. In this case, the sensor must be replaced.
