What is the standard tire pressure for the GS4?

The normal tire pressure range for the Trumpchi GS4 is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and reduced by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. How to check the tire pressure of the Trumpchi GS4: Press the set button on the dashboard to bring up the tire pressure monitoring. The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety device that can alert the driver in time when there are signs of danger in the tires, prompting the driver to take appropriate measures, thereby avoiding serious accidents. Generally speaking, a tire pressure above 2.8bar is too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; it can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; it accelerates the wear of the central tread pattern, shortening the tire's lifespan; it increases the vibration of the vehicle body, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; it causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body, and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; it makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; it increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; it reduces 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 increases exponentially, rapidly raising the tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, it will alert if the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. At this point, 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 tire pressure monitoring indicator light to come on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors the tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to come on. For sensor damage issues, only a complete replacement with a new part will suffice.
I've been driving the Trumpchi GS4 for several years, and the standard tire pressure is generally around 230-240 kPa, equivalent to about 34-35 PSI. The exact value should be confirmed by checking the sticker on the driver's door or the user manual. Tire pressure is something you can't afford to ignore. Once, I forgot to check, and the tire pressure was too low—it felt like driving on a muddy road, fuel consumption skyrocketed, and it accelerated tire wear, leading to a blowout that nearly caused an accident. Now, I've developed a habit of using a tire pressure gauge for a quick check every month, which can be done conveniently when refueling. In winter, slightly higher tire pressure prevents freezing cracks, while in summer, lowering it a bit prevents overheating, ensuring a more stable drive—safety first. Maintaining proper tire pressure not only saves fuel costs but also extends tire life, making daily driving more reassuring.
As a family car driver, the recommended standard tire pressure for the GAC GS4 is between 230-240 kPa, typically 34-35 PSI. Remember to check the label on the door for the exact values. Tire pressure is crucial for family trips: too low and the car feels wobbly, making kids prone to motion sickness and vomiting; too high and the ride becomes uncomfortably bumpy. I do a quick tire pressure check before driving my kids to school each month to ensure it's within the standard range, which also helps avoid potential blowout risks. Adjusting tire pressure according to weather changes is also essential—lower it slightly during rainy seasons for better traction to prevent skidding accidents. Regular tire pressure maintenance saves fuel and enhances safety—why not make it a habit?
I've been in the car club with my GS4 for two years, and the standard tire pressure is usually around 230 kPa, approximately 34 PSI. It's best to check the manual or use an app to verify with the VIN code. We chat a lot in the group, and incorrect tire pressure can cause issues: low pressure hurts fuel efficiency, while high pressure damages the suspension. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure every 1,000 kilometers—just keep a portable tire pressure gauge in the trunk, and it takes seconds. Saves hassle and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
