What is the tire pressure for the Nissan Qashqai?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for the Nissan Qashqai 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 reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard. In the new Nissan Qashqai, the tire pressure can be viewed on the dashboard display. Press the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch to the tire pressure page, but 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 too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; accelerates uneven wear on the central tread pattern, reducing tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the 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 between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator lights up (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), it is generally due to one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, an alarm is triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tire should be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tire, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the 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. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.
