How Do You Check Tyre Pressure in Vauxhall Astra?

 

To check tyre pressure in an Astra, you need to know the recommended PSI of your tyres, usually found on the Placard sticker on the vehicle’s door or in the manual. First, remove the valve cap from the tyres, take a tyre pressure gauge, and press the gauge onto the valve stem firmly to get a reading.

Check if the tyre has sufficient inflation. If low, pump some air using a compressor or if high, release some air. Repeat this process for all four tyres, including the spare one. After you inflate the tyres to their recommended PSI, ensure to replace the valve caps. 

 

Vauxhall Astra Tyre Pressure in Summer

 

During summer, tyres heat up rapidly, which can increase tyre pressure. Due to this, it's not recommended to check tyre pressure when the tyres are hot as it can result in inaccurate readings. For every 10-degree drop in temperature, it's advised to reduce tyre pressure by 1 to 2 psi from the recommended tyre pressure.

It is completely normal to deviate from manufacturer recommendations PSI level so that the longevity and performance of your tyres is maintained. 

 

Vauxhall Astra Tyre Pressure in Winter

 

During the winter season, tyres tend to lose pressure more rapidly, so it's a good idea to check your tyre pressure weekly. Tyre pressure decreases by about 1 to 2 PSI for every 10-degree drop in temperature. 

It's advisable to keep the pressure about 1 to 2 PSI higher than the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure. Since there isn't a separate PSI specified for winter temperatures, consider this as a general guideline.

 

What is TPMS in Vauxhall Astra?

 

The tyre pressure monitoring system in the Astra helps to track the pressure inside of each tyre as well as notify you if the pressure levels drop too low. If the tyre pressure light appears on the dashboard, it means your tyres are underinflated. 

You will need to maintain the air pressure soon or this low pressure will give poor traction, excessive tyre wear, and flat tyre or blowout. Maintained tyre inflation to ensure your tyres don’t wear out before their expiry date as well as protect you from a potential accident. 

This system is a great way to keep track of your tyre pressure during your road trip without having to worry about manual checks yourself.

 

How to Reset TPMS in Vauxhall Astra?

 

• Go to the menu stalk on your steering column.

• Press the stalk to scroll through the menu options until you reach the service section.

• Check Oil Life

• In the service menu, verify that the oil life is displayed as 100%. This ensures that you’re on the correct menu.

• Navigate to Tyre Pressure

• Scroll down to the tyre pressure section in the menu.

• Confirm that the current tyre pressures are displayed correctly.

• Initiate TPMS Reset

• Find the button at the end of the stalk.

• Press and hold this button for a few seconds.

• Confirm the Reset

• A confirmation message will appear asking if you want to reset the TPMS.

• Select “Yes” to proceed with the reset.

• Complete the Learning Process

• The system will indicate that the learning process is active.

• Drive the vehicle for a few hundred meters to allow the system to recalibrate.

• Verify the TPMS Light

• After driving, check to see if the TPMS light has turned off.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

What is the recommended tyre pressure for Vauxhall Astra?

These tyres placard recommends a minimum tyre pressure of 35psi for the Vauxhall Astra. This is equal to 240kPa and 2.4bar. However, each tyre has its own recommended PSI, you should check the owner’s manual or the tyre information printed inside the driver’s door.

How often should I check my Vauxhall Astra tyre pressure?

On average, once a month is enough to check the tyre pressure in Vauxhall Astra if you are driving once a week. However, if you are driving quite often once a weak is sufficient enough to check if they are properly inflated.

What are the consequences of incorrect tyre pressure in Vauxhall Astra?

Incorrect air pressure on your tyres can significantly impact your handling and braking performance. It doesn’t matter whether the air pressure is too low or high, your car will have a longer braking distance and unstable traction. 

How can I tell if my Vauxhall Astra tyre pressure is low?

Your vehicle takes too long to turn compared to normal, swaying into the turn a little more and a weird response from steering can be clear signs of low-pressure tyres. Park your car and check tyres pressure using tyre pressure gauge or reach the nearest garage.
