Where to Check the Tire Pressure for Camry 2021?
2 Answers
The tire pressure for Camry 2021 can be checked on the dashboard, but you need to press and hold the tire pressure monitoring switch in the glove box first to view it on the dashboard. Tire pressure is crucial for tires; both too high and too low pressure will shorten the tire's lifespan. Low pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and causing flexing movements, which generate excessive heat and accelerate rubber aging. High pressure overextends the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving. This can cause internal cracks or blowouts upon impact. Additionally, high pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: standard tires at 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires at 2.8-2.9 bar; and the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar.
I've been driving a 2021 Camry for two years, and checking the tire pressure is quite easy. It's usually found on the information display in the instrument cluster. Here's how to do it: Start the car, wait for the self-check to complete, then use the control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to scroll up and down to find the "Vehicle Information" menu. Once inside, select "Tire Pressure Monitoring System," and it will display the current pressure values for each tire, including the front and rear wheels. If the values don't appear, try driving a few hundred meters to let the system update. The recommended tire pressure is posted on the door frame of the driver's seat—measure it when the tires are cold, typically between 32-35 PSI. I recommend checking it monthly, as both overinflation and underinflation can cause uneven tire wear and affect braking distance, so don't take safety lightly. Also, watch out for nails on the road, and if the system's yellow warning light comes on, stop immediately to check.
