Tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system
monitors pressure and temperature of the tire, and
displays the current pressure and temperature of
the tire on the instrument cluster. In case of tire
anomalies such as low/high pressure, rapid air
leakage and high temperature , the instrument
cluster will display various alarm messages.
When the engine start/stop button has been set to
the "ON" position, the tire pressure and
temperature displayed on the instrument cluster
are both "---" if the car is stationary or the car
speed does not exceed 25km/h. If the car speed
has been above 25km/h for several minutes, the
current tire pressure and temperature are
displayed on the instrument cluster.
The TPM system alarms includes the fault
indicator lamp alarm and the message alarms.
The alarms consist of the low/high pressure alarm,
rapid air leakage alarm and high temperature
alarm.
–
If the tire pressure is higher than 330Kpa, the
indicator lamp of the TPM system lights up,
and the alarm message on the instrument
display indicates that the tire pressure is high.
–
If the tire pressure is lower than 75% of the
normal setting value, the indicator lamp of the
TPM system lights up and the alarm message
on the instrument display indicates that the
tire pressure is low.
–
If the decreasing rate of the tire pressure is
higher than a specified level, the indicator
lamp of the TPM system lights up and the
alarm message on the instrument display
indicates that the tire has air leakage.
–
If the tire temperature is higher than 85°C, the
indicator lamp of the TPM system lights up
and the alarm message on the instrument
display indicates that the tire temperature is
high.
NOTE
If the tire pressure sensors in the tires or the
tires are required to be replaced or rotated, it is
necessary to learn about how to match the tire
pressure sensors in the four tires. In this case,
please go to the GAC Motor authorized shop for
replacement.
NOTE
•
When a high temperature alarm is
activated, it is recommended to has a rest
stop and wait for the tire temperature to
decrease before continuing to drive.
•
If the low tire pressure alarm does not
disappear while you continue to drive as
the tire pressure sensor is missing after a
spare tire or a new tire has been replaced
in another place. Please do not interpret
that as abnormal tire pressure.
