What is the tire pressure indicator symbol?
2 Answers
The symbol for the car tire pressure gauge is a circle with an arrow drawn in the upper right corner of the circle. Here is a related introduction about the appropriate tire pressure for cars: 1. Seasonal factors: Winter: Based on the standard tire pressure, it is appropriate to increase it by about 0.2 bar. Summer: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. If the car is parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 2. Load conditions: Empty/half load: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle sticker can serve as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). Full load: When fully loaded, follow the upper limit of the standard tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure value indicated on the tire can serve as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure).
I often drive for business trips, and the tire pressure warning light is on the dashboard, looking like a yellow U-shaped symbol with an exclamation mark, indicating that the tire pressure is too low and needs to be checked and inflated immediately. Last time I was on the highway, it lit up, forcing me to pull over at a service station and spend 20 yuan to top up the air. The normal tire pressure is between 2.2 and 2.5 BAR. If it's too low, it increases fuel consumption and the risk of a blowout. So, as soon as I got home, I kept a portable air pump in the trunk. I check the tire pressure myself every month, especially during the transition between winter and summer when temperature changes are significant, as the pressure tends to drop and driving becomes noisier. Safety first—don’t underestimate this light; it can prevent many dangers.
