What is the standard tire pressure for the Geely Boyue?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for the Boyue is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. To check the current tire pressure of the Boyue 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 tire pressure monitoring button for the Boyue is located at the top of the lever under the steering wheel on the left side, marked with a round button. Simply switch to the tire pressure monitoring system interface. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of over-inflated 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 tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of under-inflated 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; reduces the functionality 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, sharply 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 comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually triggers an alarm when below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. 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 come on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it will trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
The standard tire pressure for the Geely Boyue is generally between 2.2 and 2.5 bar, depending on your model year and wheel size. The most common pressure when unloaded is around 2.3 bar. I always drive this car to and from work, and once during the summer, the tire pressure dropped to 2.0 bar—the steering wheel started shaking, and fuel consumption increased by 10%, which scared me into getting it inflated immediately. High tire pressure on highways can lead to blowouts, while low pressure accelerates tire wear and compromises driving safety. I recommend checking the tire pressure with a gauge once a month, especially during seasonal changes when temperatures fluctuate. The official recommended values are on the door frame label or in the owner’s manual—it’s best to refer to those. Gas stations usually have free air pumps, which are quite convenient. Remember, measure the pressure when the tires are cold; it rises when heated from driving, so don’t get the timing wrong.
