What is the tire pressure for Civic?
1 Answers
The tire pressure range for Civic is 2.4-2.5 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. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Civic's tire pressure is displayed on the dashboard near the driver's position. While driving, it helps determine if one or more tires are significantly underinflated, which will trigger the tire pressure monitoring system indicator light and display a warning message on the driver information interface. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, decreasing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting other components' longevity; overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing load during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes steering heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in tire sections, causing abnormal heat from excessive rolling; weakens cord and rubber functions, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light illuminates (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically triggers an alarm when below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. Immediate tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, failing to reset the tire pressure monitoring system causes it to retain old data, lighting the indicator. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), it triggers the warning light. A damaged sensor must be replaced with a new one.
