The reason why the tire pressure calibration of the Lynk & Co 03 is always in progress is that the calibration of the tire pressure system has not been completed, and the system has not yet learned the new tire pressure values. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tires 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, reducing tire life; 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, increasing the load on the car during driving; puncture resistance will decrease. When encountering sharp objects such as nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, and the impact can cause internal cracks and explosions, leading to a blowout. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface will increase, leading to higher fuel consumption; it will cause the steering wheel to become 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 blowout; it will increase the deformation of the tire body, making the tire side prone to cracks, while generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heating, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It will also increase the contact area of the tire, accelerating shoulder wear.
My Lynk & Co 03 also encountered the issue of tire pressure calibration getting stuck during the process, which usually stems from several common causes. The tire pressure sensor may fail to transmit signals due to depleted battery, especially after prolonged vehicle inactivity. Unstable tire pressure failing to settle at the set value can also trigger continuous system calibration, such as when a sudden temperature drop causes natural tire deflation. The onboard TPMS system might have software bugs requiring reinitialization or a firmware update. Sometimes it’s simple user error—like moving the vehicle too quickly or cycling the ignition too fast during calibration. Less frequently, physical sensor damage (e.g., from accidental impact) could be the culprit. Stuck calibration increases the risk of false tire pressure alerts, compromising driving safety. I recommend immediately stopping to verify actual pressure with a tire gauge, then attempting a system reset or visiting a service center. Regular maintenance of the tire pressure system is crucial to prevent such issues from disrupting trips.
