What is the suitable tire pressure for Geely Emgrand GL?
2 Answers
The optimal tire pressure for Emgrand GL should be set between 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. The Emgrand GL's tire pressure monitoring system directly displays on the dashboard. It does not show the specific pressure and temperature of each tire, but only displays a tire pressure warning symbol on the dashboard when abnormalities such as excessively high or low pressure are detected. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. The system typically alerts 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 in time, the system continues to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
When it comes to tire pressure, I have to share my experience. Having driven for so many years, I'm quite familiar with the Geely Emgrand GL. The recommended tire pressure for this model is generally between 2.2 and 2.5 bar, but the exact figure should be checked on the sticker on the door frame or in the user manual. The sticker on my GL says 2.3 bar. If it's too low, it can easily wear out the tires and increase the risk of a blowout. If it's too high, it affects comfort, making the ride bumpy over rough roads. I check it monthly with a simple tire pressure gauge, especially before long trips. In summer, it's better to adjust it slightly higher to 2.4 bar, and in winter, a bit lower to 2.2 bar for better traction. Remember, incorrect tire pressure also wastes fuel—you could burn several extra liters on a single trip. It’s also a good idea to ask a mechanic during regular maintenance. In short, don’t overlook this small detail—it affects both safety and your wallet.
