What is the standard tire pressure range for the GS4?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for the Trumpchi GS4 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. Method to check the tire pressure of the Trumpchi GS4: Press the set button on the dashboard to bring up the tire pressure monitoring system. 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 exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 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 localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan; it increases vehicle vibration, 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 while driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; it makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, among other 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 functionality 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 multiplies, causing a sharp rise in 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 stamp on top and four small spikes at the bottom, with an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. 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. At this point, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to come on. For sensor damage issues, only a complete replacement of the part will suffice.
I've driven similar vehicles before, like the Trumpchi GS4 SUV, where the standard tire pressure range is typically between 32 and 35 psi. The most accurate time to check is when the tires are cold, meaning after the car has been parked overnight. This is quite important because tire pressure that's too low can increase fuel consumption and easily lead to uneven wear on the tire edges; if it's too high, the ride can become uncomfortably bumpy. I make it a habit to check once a month using a regular tire pressure gauge—no need for expensive equipment. In summer, when temperatures are higher, tire pressure naturally increases a bit, so it's good to keep an eye on adjustments. Regular maintenance can extend tire life, saving money and ensuring safety by avoiding the need for new tires for several years. Also, there's usually a label near the door frame on the car that indicates the recommended values—just take a closer look to confirm. Making these small details a habit brings much more peace of mind when driving.
