What is the recommended tire pressure range for the Verano?
3 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for the Verano is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and decreased by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. To check the current tire pressure of the Verano 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: press the button on the right side of the steering wheel, select the information column interface, scroll down to find the tire pressure monitoring information, and then view the specific tire pressure values. 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 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 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; causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement of tire parts, leading to abnormal heat generation due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, leading to tire damage and abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and 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: Usually, an alarm is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, 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 indicator light to remain on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset 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 during driving (e.g., by impact), the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
I remember when I picked up the Verano at the 4S dealership, the technician specifically advised that maintaining a cold tire pressure of 2.4-2.5 bar is safest. The silver label on the driver's side door frame also clearly states 240 kPa for the front tires and 230 kPa for the rear tires. Last time before a long trip, I checked the tire pressure and found the left front tire had dropped to 2.0 bar, so I rushed to top it up. The mechanic said insufficient tire pressure not only wastes fuel but also makes the rims prone to deformation. Now that summer has arrived, I use the cigarette lighter inflator pump to check weekly. Due to thermal expansion, the tire pressure may increase by 0.1-0.2 bar, but never release air in this case. If you have run-flat tires installed, the pressure can be slightly increased to 2.6 bar for better support.
My Verano has covered 50,000 kilometers in three years, and tire pressure is something you really can't take lightly. Two months ago during heavy rain, the dashboard suddenly flashed a tire pressure warning, startling me into pulling over immediately. Turned out the right rear tire had a nail puncture and dropped to 1.8 bar. The 4S technician said summer temperatures make tire pressure fluctuate easily—the standard cold-tire pressure should be 2.4 bar, but for highway driving with full load, they recommend increasing to 2.6 bar for better stability. Seasonal changes particularly affect tire pressure; last week when temperatures dropped, all four tires lost 0.3 bar overnight. I even bought special tire pressure monitoring caps that screw onto the valve stems to check real-time pressure.
