The reason why the tire pressure monitoring light remains on after the tire is repaired: The tire pressure monitoring light may still be on after inflating the tire, possibly due to a puncture that triggered the light, requiring tire repair; The tire pressure monitoring light is on due to a puncture. This situation usually involves very slow air leakage, making it difficult to immediately identify which tire is affected. In this case, you can use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure: 2.3 bar for the front tires and 2.5 bar for the rear tires. If the pressure is low, inflate the tire and then observe the tire pressure warning light. If it lights up again after a few days, the tire may need to be removed for inspection; At 4S shops, maintenance personnel typically adjust the front tire pressure to 2.3 bar and the rear tire pressure to 2.4 bar, then reset the tire pressure warning light. They may ask you to drive for 3 or 4 days to observe. If the warning light does not come on again, there is no problem. If it lights up again, there may be a puncture, and you should return to the 4S shop for further inspection. Normal tire pressure range: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar.

Last time I had a tire repaired, I encountered the same situation and specifically consulted a familiar mechanic. Nowadays, many cars come with tire pressure monitoring systems, and after tire repairs, the sensors might not update the data promptly, just like a delay in a mobile app. Some models require manually resetting the system; look for the tire calibration option in the steering wheel settings menu. Also, check if the valve stem is properly installed—that time, the technician forgot to tighten the sensor bracket. If it still doesn’t work, drive about five or six kilometers and check again; the data becomes more accurate once the tire warms up. However, be cautious about potential slow leaks—it’s best to keep a simple tire pressure gauge handy to compare readings.

How to Make the Heavy Steering Wheel of Swift Lighter?

The Swift's steering wheel uses electronic power steering. If it becomes heavy, you can check whether the fuse is burnt out, if there are any open circuits or ground short circuits in the wiring. After inspecting and adjusting any problematic items, the issue of a heavy steering wheel can be resolved. There are several reasons why a car's steering wheel may become heavy: 1. For hydraulic power steering, check if the power steering fluid is low or if there is any leakage. If the fluid is low, it needs to be replenished to the normal range. If the fluid level is adequate, check if the power steering pump belt is too loose. If it is too loose, tighten the belt. Also, check if the fluid is too dirty, which can reduce its flowability. Generally, the fluid should be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. 2. For electronic power steering, check if the fuse is burnt out or if there are any open circuits or ground short circuits in the wiring. 3. Check the tire pressure. A leak can also cause the steering to become heavy, so inflate the tires if necessary. 4. If there is excessive play in the front suspension system, inspect and replace the lower control arm if needed. 5. If the steering ball joint is loose, inspect and replace the steering head after checking. 6. Changing the specifications of the front tires.

What is the normal tire pressure for a Pajero?

The normal tire pressure range for a Pajero is 2.4-2.5 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. The Mitsubishi Pajero is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system. To check the tire pressure, first prepare a tire pressure gauge, locate the position of the factory tire pressure label, press the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve to measure and read the value, and remember to replace the valve cap after checking the tire pressure. 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: 1. Abnormal tire pressure. The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. 2. The tire pressure monitoring system has not been reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system may still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to come on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. 3. The tire pressure sensor is damaged. The tire pressure sensor, which monitors the tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged while driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. If the sensor is damaged, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on Volkswagen Bora?

Methods to reset the tire pressure warning on Volkswagen Bora: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the completion of the tire pressure reset. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system will automatically alert when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in faster rotation compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both the above systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and an indirect system for all four wheels. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires.

Which model of antifreeze is used for Tourneo?

Tourneo uses original factory antifreeze. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year. More details about antifreeze are as follows: 1. Each antifreeze manufacturer has its own brand and model identification, unlike engine oil which has relatively standardized model meanings. However, antifreeze will have certain clear markings, such as low-temperature (freezing point) or applicable low temperatures. 2. The quality of antifreeze is mainly measured by its freezing point and boiling point. Generally, ordinary antifreeze can reach -40°C, while high-quality antifreeze can reach around -60°C, which is an important indicator of antifreeze quality. Another factor is the boiling point of antifreeze. The boiling point of water is 100°C, while antifreeze should reach at least 108°C, with superior products reaching above 110°C. In other words, the lower the freezing point and the higher the boiling point, the greater the temperature difference, and the better the quality of the antifreeze. 3. Commonly used antifreeze functions include increasing the boiling point of cooling water, cooling the engine, preventing rust in the cooling system, preventing scale formation in cooling water, cleaning the cooling system, and preventing foam formation. Typically, if the liquid color in the reservoir appears faded upon visual inspection, it indicates that it's time for a replacement. 4. When using diluted antifreeze, once the engine temperature exceeds 80 degrees Celsius, water vapor will form on the cylinder walls. This water vapor has poor heat transfer properties and will gradually form a bubble layer around the metal of the cylinder, preventing the engine's heat from dissipating in time. Over time, this can lead to scale formation, corroding the cylinder block pipelines, radiator, and water pump.
