What is the tire pressure for the Lavida?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for the Volkswagen Lavida ranges between 2.4 and 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. This data complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Volkswagen Lavida's tire pressure monitoring system is displayed on the dashboard and is enabled by default. When the tire pressure is abnormal, a tire pressure warning light will illuminate to alert the driver. There is no physical button for the tire pressure monitoring system in the vehicle. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire 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 of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light illuminates (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 causes: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, an alarm is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system continues to record the previous data, causing the indicator light to illuminate. Simply resetting the tire pressure will 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. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
