What is the normal tire pressure for the Honda Fit?
1 Answers
The tire pressure for the Honda Fit is generally 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 is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Honda Fit features an automatic monitoring function, which does not require manual activation. When a tire abnormality is detected, the dashboard will automatically display a warning. The display does not show specific numerical values but indicates which tire has an issue. The tire pressure must be restored to the normal range before the tire pressure data can be reset. Press and hold the tire pressure SET button on the center console until the tire pressure data refreshes, and the tire pressure warning light will disappear. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, 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; overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: 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; weakens the function of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly 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 (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside) illuminates, it is generally due to one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically triggers an alert when pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tire should be inspected and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tire, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. 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. A damaged sensor must be replaced with a new one.
