What is the tire pressure for Changan CS55?
3 Answers
Changan CS55 generally has a tire pressure of 2.4 to 2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. The tire pressure of Changan CS55 can be viewed on the display screen in the middle of the dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring of CS55 does not require manual activation; it automatically turns on when the vehicle starts. Press the scroll button on the left side of the steering wheel to find the tire pressure value. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle without a seal on top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. It usually alerts when the 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 tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure fault light to come on. For sensor damage issues, only a complete replacement with a new part is possible.
I've been driving the Changan CS55 for several years. I remember the manufacturer recommends a cold tire pressure generally between 2.3 to 2.5 bar, which can be found on the label inside the B-pillar or fuel filler cap. Don't exceed 2.6 when driving on highways in summer, as excessive heat may cause tire blowouts. In winter, properly increasing it to 2.5 can save some fuel. Last week, I noticed my front right tire dropped to 2.1, and only found a nail puncture after checking at the repair shop. I recommend keeping a simple tire pressure gauge handy - checking monthly is especially convenient, particularly during seasonal transitions when temperature differences cause noticeable tire pressure changes.
Last time I took my CS55 for maintenance, the technician specifically emphasized adjusting tire pressure according to the label on the door frame. My car indicates 230kPa for the front tires and 240kPa for the rear tires, with the rear tires adjustable to 250 when carrying heavy loads. Once the tire pressure warning light suddenly came on, and upon checking, it was below 2.0, which turned out to be due to wheel alignment issues causing uneven wear. Now I use an electric air pump to top up the air myself, as the free air pumps at gas stations are often inaccurate, requiring verification with a mechanical gauge after inflation.
