What is the tire pressure for a Ford Focus?
1 Answers
Ford Focus normal tire pressure range is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, winter tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar, while summer pressure can be reduced by 0.1bar. This data complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Ford Focus tire pressure monitoring function displays all tire values on the dashboard. The Focus tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors tire pressure in real-time during driving, alerts for tire leaks and low pressure, and illuminates the system fault indicator to ensure driving safety. Generally, tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while pressure below 2.0bar is too low. Hazards of overinflation: Reduced tire friction and adhesion affects braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on central tread patterns, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting other components' longevity; overextends tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing driving load. Hazards of underinflation: Increased friction coefficient with road surface raises fuel consumption; creates heavy steering and deviation hazards; excessive tire movement causes abnormal heat generation; weakens cord and rubber functions, leading to delamination or cord breakage; multiplied ground friction rapidly raises tire temperature, softening rubber and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may cause blowouts. If the tire pressure warning light illuminates (a yellow icon showing an irregular circle without top seal, with four small spikes below and exclamation mark inside), there are typically three causes: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually alerts when below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. Requires immediate tire inspection and pressure adjustment. Unreset monitoring system: After inflation, failure to reset the system maintains old data, triggering the warning light. Simply perform a pressure reset. Faulty pressure sensor: These internal sensors connected to tire valves may get damaged by road impacts, triggering the warning light. Damaged sensors require complete replacement.
