What to do when the Audi A3 shows low tire pressure?
1 Answers
Audi A3 shows low tire pressure method: If no damage is visible, you can directly inflate to normal tire pressure and then reset the tire pressure system; If the tire is found to be punctured during inspection, it is necessary to drive to a tire shop for repair and then reinflate; If the low tire pressure warning appears again some time after inflation, but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by wheel rim deformation. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and easy deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heating of the tire; Reduces the function of the cord and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, leading to damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a sharp drop in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks, while generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heating, promoting rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, and also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
