What is the tire pressure for the Nissan Qashqai?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for the Nissan Qashqai is 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 is based on the international standard GBT2978-2008. In the Nissan Qashqai, the tire pressure can be viewed on the dashboard display by pressing the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch to the tire pressure page. However, it requires a period of normal driving before the tire pressure is displayed. Generally, a tire pressure above 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerating wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increased vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching of 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; heavy steering and tendency to deviate, compromising driving safety; increased movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm is triggered 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 system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. 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. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
