Inspecting tire pressure
The standard tire pressure data label of the
original tire of this vehicle is attached to the B
pillar on the driver’s side.
-
Check the tire pressure applicable to the
vehicle from the data label (the listed
pressure applies to both summer and
winter tires).
-
Unscrew the valve cap (if the valve cap is
missing, a new one shall be provided in
time).
-
A high-quality tire pressure gauge is
required to check the tire pressure. It is
impossible to determine whether the tire
pressure is appropriate only by visual
inspection.
-
Attach the tire pressure gauge to the
valve.
-
For inspection of tire pressure, the
tire must be in a cold state. When the
temperature increases, the tire pressure
can be slightly higher than the specified
value, and it is not necessary to reduce
the tire pressure.
-
Balance the weight of occupants and
luggage, avoid slopes and adjust tire
pressure according to vehicle load.
-
Check the tire pressure of the spare wheel
or emergency spare wheel at the same
time.
-
Install and tighten the valve cap.
NOTE
● The current tire pressure of the wheel
can be checked through the information
on the instrument cluster display for
some models.
● Be sure to refit the valve cap to the
valve core. The valve cap can prevent
dust and moisture from entering the tire.
WARNING
● Abnormal tire pressure may cause
tire burst, resulting in a traffic
accident, injury or even death.
● Check the tire pressure at least once
a month or before long-distance
driving. The tire pressure must meet
the specified requirements to prevent
accidents.
● Insufficient tire pressure will
exacerbate tire deflection, and tires
are extremely prone to overheating,
which may lead to tread separation
and tire burst.
● Abnormal tire pressure, too low or
too high, will cause early wear of
tires and reduce the maneuvering
stability of the vehicle.
