What is the tire pressure for the Geely Emgrand GS?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for the Geely Emgrand GS 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. The Geely Emgrand GS is equipped with an active tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which automatically monitors tire pressure while driving. However, it does not display the specific pressure or temperature values for each tire, only the TPMS warning symbol and an abnormal tire pressure warning symbol. When tire pressure is abnormal, the Geely Emgrand GS tire pressure warning light will illuminate. 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 friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; weakens the function of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside) illuminates, there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, an alarm is triggered 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 will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. Damaged sensors must be replaced with new ones.
I've been driving the Geely Emgrand GS for two years, and maintaining tire pressure around 2.4 bar is the most common setting. The specific values are labeled on the door edge or B-pillar, for example, approximately 2.3 bar for the front tires and 2.2 bar for the rear tires. It's crucial to stick to regular tire pressure checks—I use a simple tire pressure gauge to measure every two weeks, with the most accurate readings taken when the car is cold. Low pressure increases fuel consumption and tire wear, while overinflation leads to a bumpy ride and safety concerns. Seasonal changes have a significant impact: in summer when it's hot, tire pressure rises, so I often reduce it by 0.1 bar; in winter, the opposite applies, and I add a bit more air for proper maintenance. Developing this habit not only saves fuel and money but also prevents sudden blowouts, making driving more secure and comfortable. Sharing these tips helps beginners get up to speed quickly.
