What is the standard tire pressure for the Boyue?
3 Answers
The normal tire pressure for the Boyue is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. The Geely Boyue's tire pressure monitoring can be viewed on the dashboard under special function prompts (tire pressure monitoring, active safety information, including distance alerts, ACC cruise mode, lane departure warning, collision warning, PEPS, etc.). The Boyue's tire pressure monitoring reset method is relatively simple—just drive for a while, and it will return to normal data without any additional settings. 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: 1. Abnormal tire pressure. Typically, it will trigger an alarm if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. 2. The tire pressure monitoring system was not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed 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. 3. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will turn on. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
I usually drive my Boyue to work and maintain the tire pressure between 2.4 to 2.5 bar when the tires are cold. I remember the new car manual recommends 220-250 kPa, and the label on my car also states 2.4 bar as the standard. I check it weekly with a handheld tire pressure gauge. If the pressure is too low, it not only increases fuel consumption but also causes excessive tire wear; if it's too high, the ride becomes harsher and less comfortable. I pay extra attention when the weather changes significantly. In summer, the tire pressure rises a bit when hot, and in winter, it drops when cold, so I adjust by adding or releasing air as needed. Neglecting this for too long can lead to rapid tire deformation, and replacing a new tire costs hundreds, which isn't worth it. For beginners, it's good to refer to the user manual or the sticker on the door frame—simple, hassle-free, and safe. Developing this habit ensures the car runs smoothly for five or six years without major issues.
From my experience, maintaining the standard tire pressure of the Geely Boyue at 2.3-2.5 bar when cold is ideal. The exact value depends on the model year, and the manual usually specifies 220-250 kPa. When carrying heavier loads, I inflate closer to the upper limit to prevent underinflation from affecting steering. Tire pressure changes while driving, especially increasing after long trips—wait for it to cool down before measuring accurately. Invest in a cheap pressure gauge (just tens of RMB) and check regularly; don’t rely solely on feel or the car’s delayed monitoring system. Low pressure increases fuel consumption quickly, while overinflation lengthens braking distance and raises the risk of hydroplaning in rain. For safety, check at least twice a month—it keeps the car trouble-free and saves me headaches. Adjust any abnormalities promptly to avoid minor issues becoming major problems.
