What is the standard tire pressure for the Fit?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for the Honda Fit ranges between 2.4 and 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 follows the international GBT2978-2008 standard regulations and requirements. The Honda Fit features an automatic monitoring function that does not require manual activation. When tire abnormalities occur, the dashboard will automatically display information. The display does not show specific values but indicates which tire has an issue. The tire pressure needs to be restored to normal levels before the tire pressure data can be reset. Press and hold the SET button on the central control panel 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, lowering driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends 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; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing excessive rolling and abnormal heating; weakens cord and rubber functionality, 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, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing 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: Typically, an alert is triggered when 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 promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to remain 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 illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.
