Proper tire pressure can help extend the life of your tires, improve car safety and maintain fuel efficiency. The pressure is measured by calculating the amount of air, which is pumped into the inner sheath of the tire, and in our country it is customary to measure pressure in the technical atmospheres.

Ford determines the appropriate pressure in the wheels of its models, and your responsibility is to make sure that the pressure is checked and adjusted on a regular basis, at least once every two weeks - a month. There are three main reasons why maintaining proper tire pressure is very important. The first is safety. Tires that are under high pressure can overheat, and they can lead to a bad car charter on the road. The second reason is to save. A larger or less pressure in the wheel gives more harm than the correct pressure and increases fuel consumption. Car with unchanging tires increases rolling resistance, which requires more fuel to maintain the same speed. The third reason for maintaining the correct tire pressure is the environment. Right tires Help maintain optimal fuel economy. It can be equated to a decrease harmful emissionsand it's good for ambient.

Indications of the pressure of Ford cars are approximate. Please see the pressure directly in your car specified by the Ford manufacturer - its recommended value in your machine can be found in the form of inscriptions on the end of one of the front doors (most often driving), on the lid of the gas tank hatch or on the puff cover.

Tire pressure is an important indicatorwhich requires systematic control. In addition, the tire pressure is responsible for the cost-effective fuel consumption, safety on the road also depends on it. In general, this indicator affects the correct behavior on the car's road, for example, such as Ford Focus, Mondeo or Cuga.

First of all, let's determine what pressure is. This is the amount of air that falls on a specific area. In this case, this is the size of the tire.

Below, we consider how it is correct to measure, and the incorrect relationship of this unit to the Ford Focus tire diameter or Cuga.

Pressure measurements using a mechanical pressure gauge

Measurement devices

To accurately find out what pressure in the working machine, you need to have a special device - a pressure gauge. It is impossible to do with some kind of handicrafts or "on the eye" in this case.

The pressure gauge is distinguished by such types:

• mechanical;
• electronic.

The most simple to use the shooting gauges. The basis is a special spring. Tire pressure can be seen on the instrument scale. If you need to systematically check what pressure in the Ford Transit tires, "Mondeo" or "Focus" can use the most simple and at the same time a durable option.

Rifle manometer

Electrical manometers are becoming increasingly popular. Tire pressure indicator can be seen on the screen. In addition, such pressure gauges are more compact, so they can always be kept at hand. The error of this electronic type of device is only 0.05 bars. Compared to other similar devices, this indicator is minimal.

Measurement of pressure

Whatever the device you acquire, if it is not possible to operate it, then the exact indicators will not get.

Pressure B. tires Ford. Focus 1 and Ford Focus 2

Measurement of tire pressure in the "Ford Transit", "Cuga", "Mondeo" or "Focus" should be carried out only in unleashed tires. If the indicators will be removed immediately after the vehicle has stopped the movement, the data will be incorrect.

You should also pay attention to the fact that you need to take data from all 4 wheels of the car. Take into account the indicators taken only from one wheel, inexpedient.

If you do not have time to produce all these manipulations yourself, just trust it by specialists for a hundred. Such services are inexpensive, but guarantee safe behavior Your car on the road.

The consequences of the "wrong" pressure

If the car is in good condition, comfort and safety on the road its owner is guaranteed. In the opposite case, extremely negative consequences are possible, up to an accident.

In general, the incorrect tire pressure "Ford Transit" (or any other modification) may cause such negative factors:

• unprofitable fuel consumption (on average by 2-3 liters);
• cord deformations;
• impaired clutch with asphalt, which can cause an accident;
• tire turning;
• increased tire wear.

Saving or overruning fuel when improper tire pressure?

At the same time, it should be noted that the fact that negative factors Can lead and excessive pressure in the tires of the car. In this case, the owner vehicle threatens the following:

• increase the segment brake paththat is unsafe;
• increased suspension load, leading to deformation;
• excess noise while driving.

One positive factor should be noted - fuel consumption can decrease on average by 2 liters. This indicator depends on the machine model.

Schematically, the pressure indicator in Ford Transit, "Mondeo", "Cuga" and other models can be depicted as follows:

Incorrect car tire pressure - premature rubber wear

You should pay attention to the fact that some modern models Auto have a built-in tire pressure indicator. In this case, the pressure gauge can not be used.

Pressure check should be carried out regularly. If the indicator is more than necessary, it should be slightly "lowering" the tire. Otherwise - to do. To do this, it is better to use a special compressor. In terms of power, it can easily pump tires even on a truck, not to mention a passenger car.

Pressure in car tires Ford

It is worth noting that in most cars the recommended pressure indicators are indicated on the end of the driver's door or the gas tank cover. In addition, you can use tables that are on the official sites of vehicle manufacturers.

Proper tire pressure of any vehicle is not only a guarantee of a comfortable stay, but also safety on the road. Therefore, it is necessary to check this indicator systematically. If you have no opportunity to do you, it is better to use the services of specialists.

Car tire pressure is one of the most important points that responds simultaneously for many parameters, such as:, tire wear, dynamics, comfort and most importantly - traffic safety. Pressure is considered to be the amount of air in kg, which falls on each cm². Simply put, the number of air for 1 cm² tires. In order to measure the tire pressure in the car's tires use a special device called a pressure gauge. Check tire pressure Need to at least once a month.

What tire pressure should be?

As a rule, automakers indicate these parameters on special information signs that are located on door ends or openings, and can also be fixed near the glove care or directly in it. Also data on air pressure in tires can be found in the technical documentation or manual.

Observing proper tire pressure You provide security, in addition, save on fuel. Riding on semi-covered tires leads to an increase in the stain of contact with asphalt, in the end the resistance increases and as a result - the overrun of fuel. And this is not all, except for recalculation increases tire wear, which leads to their premature failure.

Safety

As I already said, incorrect pressure Air in tires is not safe. because of low level Pressures, tires cannot withstand those loads that occur during the passage of steep turns at high speeds, as well as emergency braking. Everything can end up rather poorly, for example, the tires can simply break on the go, and this, as you understand, is fraught with serious consequences. Do not think that more means better. Excessive pressure also does not pass without a trace for the car and the driver, firstly "the chassis" is killed, "secondly, again, the uneven wear of the tires is mainly central, and, of course, it will feel your" fifth point ". It should also be considered that the clutch with the road will be much smaller, since only the center of the wheel will come into contact with the road.

Do not forget regularly tire pressureIt should be understood that it depends on the air temperature of the environment. If the temperature drops by about 10 degrees, the air pressure in the tires will decrease by about 7 kPa. For example, if the last measure was made in the fall at +20, then with the arrival of the first frost and cooling to -5, the tire pressure will change, remember this.

What tire pressure should be?

The correct air pressure in the tires is not that indicated on the tires themselves. Most motorists are mistaken, believing that the numbers on the front side of the wheels are the pressure that needs to be created in tires. In fact, these figures indicate the maximum allowable air pressure, which can be created in these tires. In most cases, recommended pressure is much lower than the maximum permissible. You can easily check it easily, just read the data in the instruction manual with tires.

How and what to check the air pressure in the tires?

To do this, use a special device called a pressure gauge. Exist different types Pressure gauges: shooter, mechanical and even electronic. The first is the first manometer spring, the second measure the pressure using a cylindrical spring, electronic pressure gauges are equipped with a digital display and have a rather complex design.

What pressure gauge is better to buy

Rifle manometer

The most affordable and popular is the usual switching pressure gauge, it is characterized by good accuracy acceptable cost. From the disadvantages, it is possible to distinguish its fragility, it is afraid of mechanical damage (falls and blows), which can damage the pressure gauge.

Mechanical manometer

Electronic pressure gauge

The most accurate and expensive - of course, the electronic pressure gauge. The accuracy of such an appliance is, it can be mistaken by ± 0.05 bar (atmospheres). Which one you choose for yourself is your personal case, however, as practice shows, for non-professional use more than a fairly ordinary switching pressure gauge.

How to check tire pressure?

Checking pressure is necessary in the morning to the "cold" tires, then they will correspond to the ambient temperature. Measure the pressure immediately after a long trip along the hot highway - incorrectly. It should be understood that the pressure must be measured separately in each wheel, to judge it by one wheel is not correct.

If you busy man And you have a catastrophically no free time to carry out this procedure, check the air pressure in the tires at least before fair travel, After seasonal replacement of tires. Remember determine the tire pressure "on the eye" It can except the tire workers with a 10-year experience, "do not believe" the eyes, and trust the testimony of the pressure gauge.

Take the habit of checking the tire pressure and will allow you to save on fuel, tires, as well as ensure safety yourself, your loved ones and other participants road. Thank you for your attention, be vigilant and take care of yourself!
