Lamps used in the car

Any modern passenger car or freight car can be serviced and repaired independently, in a regular garage. All that is required for this is a set of tools and a factory repair manual with a detailed (step-by-step) description of the operations. Such a manual should contain the types of applied operating fluids, oils and greases, and most importantly - the tightening torques of all threaded connections parts of components and assemblies of the car. Italian cars – Fiat Alfa Romeo Lancia Ferrari Mazerati (Maserati) have their own design features. You can also join a special group select all french cars – Peugout (Peugeot), Renault (Renault) and Citroen (Citroen). German cars complex. This applies especially to Mercedes Benz ( Mercedes Benz), BMW (BMW), Audi (Audi) and Porsche (Porsch), in a slightly smaller - to Volkswagen (Volkswagen) and Opel (Opel). The next large group, isolated by design features, is made up of American manufacturers - Chrysler, Jeep, Plymouth, Dodge, Eagle, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln . Of the Korean firms, it should be noted Hyundai / Kia, GM - DAT (Daewoo), SsangYong.

Recently Japanese cars have a relatively low initial cost and affordable prices for spare parts, but recently they have caught up with the prestigious European brands. Moreover, this applies almost equally to all brands of cars from the land of the rising sun - Toyota (Toyota), Mitsubishi (Mitsubishi), Subaru (Subaru), Isuzu (Isuzu), Honda (Honda), Mazda (Mazda or, as they used to say, Matsuda) , Suzuki (Suzuki), Daihatsu (Daihatsu), Nissan (Nissan). Well, and the cars produced under the Japanese-American Lexus brands(Lexus), Scion (Scyon), Infinity (Infiniti),

Why is it so important to use only correctly inflated tires? From the state it's in wheelbase, not only fuel consumption depends, but also the safety of the driver and passengers during movement. The tire pressure of Renault Duster, Logan or Sandero should always be normal. As a rule, the manufacturer indicates such indicators on the car itself - in the area of \u200b\u200bthe door on the driver's side or in the place of the filling tank.

In addition to the fact that with properly inflated tires, the car will be operated competently and carefully, the correct use of the entire chassis of your Renault Logan or Duster will be ensured. By the way, this rule applies to all vehicles.

How to measure pressure correctly

Tire pressure cannot be determined by eye. Outwardly, you can only notice any deformations on the tire itself. This will only work if the vehicle is systematically driven with the wrong air/tire size ratio. Then various deformations are formed on the tread.

It is possible to accurately measure the pressure in the chassis of the Renault Logan or Duster (this also includes Sandero and Scenic) only with the help of special pressure gauges. According to the mechanism of operation, the following types of this equipment are distinguished:

turnouts;
electronic.

Mechanical pressure gauge for car tires

The most accurate among these devices is considered to be electronic. The error here is no more than 0.05 bar. If you do not plan to perform such procedures systematically, you can use mechanical type device. True, such devices can be called accurate only with a stretch.

RENAULT LOGAN 2 / DACIA LOGAN 2 / LOGAN MCV petrol / diesel from 2012 onwards

RENAULT LOGAN gasoline since 2005, + restyling in 2010

Please note that in winter it is better to measure the pressure only with an electronic pressure gauge. Other types of devices may show incorrect results.

Pressure standards for Renault

This brand vehicle pretty idiosyncratic. It is impossible to inflate tires “for all occasions” here. Based on the requirements that are prescribed in the instruction manual. The tire pressure for Renault Logan (Duster, Scenic) should be as follows:

if the diameter of the disks is 14 cm - 2.0 kgf / cm²;
with a diameter of 15 cm - 2.1 kgf / cm²;
at maximum load 0.2 kgf / cm² must be added to the indicators;
when using a loaded trailer - increase by 0.8 kgf / cm²;
when driving on sandy terrain, the pressure must be reduced, but not more than 1 kgf / cm².

It should also be taken into account that when driving on snow or wet roads, the indicators should not change.

Specialists at the service station will not only check correct pressure in the tires of your "Logan" or "Duster", but also pump up or lower it to the optimum condition. There you can also find out exactly what pressure for certain brand auto is correct.

If you plan to travel long distances, it is better to measure the pressure before the start of the trip or after at least 3 hours have passed since the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Correct pressure measurement

It is necessary to measure the pressure on Renault Logan (the same applies to Duster, Scenic). Taking into account the following conditions:

only in the "cold" state of the car (for the last 3 hours, the mileage is not more than 1.5 km);
tires must be cold.

Also take into account that you need to take readings from all 4 wheels. Spare wheel should also be systematically tested.

Measurement process:

the protective cap is removed from the pressure gauge;
by means of a special button, the readings on the device are reset;
the device is mounted on the bus;
by pressing the valve, readings are taken.

Based on the readings on the pressure gauge, the tire is pumped up or lowered.

Checking car tire pressure

Consequences of incorrect pressure

Why is it so important to follow correct ratio tire air volume? If the pressure is systematically in an incorrect state. The following negative consequences are possible:

fuel will be spent inappropriately;
road grip will deteriorate significantly;
there is a risk that the tire will burst while driving, which will lead to an accident.

Besides, chassis the car is just falling into disrepair. Agree, the repair of almost the entire wheelbase of the Logan or Duster will be much more expensive than buying a monometer.

If you do not have the opportunity to perform such operations on your own, regular technical inspections of the Renault Duster should be carried out at the service station. The better you treat your vehicle, the longer it will last you.

With the onset of winter, many motorists may wonder how to properly pump up winter tires. Someone may say that this question should not arise, because the manufacturer has already indicated everything required parameters in the instruction manual, which are duplicated on special plates located either on the car body or under the hood. However, the recommended pressure may be too high for winter driving.

Of course, all the recommendations that you can find on the installed plates and in the instruction manual, of course, must be followed. But if we talk about tire pressure, it is worth remembering that these parameters are great for driving on a flat road in the summer. But in winter, in rather difficult conditions, the recommended pressure can be too much.

Experienced motorists reduce tire pressures for the winter, so they increase the grip of the wheels on the road. Which is very important in winter. At this time, the roads are either covered with snow or covered with a thin layer of ice, so it will be useful to under-inflate the tires a little. For example, if the manufacturer indicates a pressure of 2.4 atmospheres, then it is better to pump up the wheel to 2.2 atmospheres.

As a result of pressure reduction, the permeability of the machine increases. And the car will drive better snow covered road, as well as on ice. This is due to the fact that a flat tire has a larger area of contact with the road compared to a fully inflated one. In addition, thanks to this, the wheel runs softer over bumps in the road, which are plentiful in winter. This makes driving and travel in general more comfortable.

However, in addition to more comfortable and safe driving, this method has several disadvantages. First of all, it is worth mentioning a relatively small, but increase in fuel consumption. For example, if you under-pump 0.2 atmospheres, then the consumption will increase by an average of 0.2 liters. This is due to the fact that with such a level of tire pressure, it is more difficult for the engine to set the car in motion, which increases the cost of gasoline. However, it is worth it to protect yourself and increase patency.

Many may say that rubber wear can also be increased in this way. But such a small indicator of 0.2 will not be decisive in this matter, it will not be able to affect wear as much as you might think. It will be so insignificant that it will be quite difficult to notice.

The maximum speed will also drop. However, in winter period and it is not recommended to drive, because this can lead to very disastrous consequences. Sometimes, there are such difficult situations on the roads that even driving at a speed of 60 km / h can be difficult and unsafe.

In order to pump up the wheels to required level pressure, you need to take a pump with a sensor. It is not necessary to look for a sophisticated electric one, an old mechanical device is quite suitable. Connect it to the wheel and inflate to a level less than recommended by 0.1–0.2 atmospheres. It all depends on the model of the car and the diameter of the wheels.

As practice shows, such a life hack is popular among motorists and really helps to significantly increase the cross-country ability of a car and the adhesion of wheels to the roadway.

Tires in the car - the most important detail vehicle. Our main support, literally and figuratively. It is they who are rubber hard workers who take on all the blows of our unpredictable Russian roads.

Today we will talk with you about what tire sizes are equipped with stepway cars at the factory, as well as what tire sizes without special problems can be used on Stepways.

First about regular tires, which are equipped with Stepway cars at the factory.

Let's start with the first generation of Stepways. On cars that were produced before 2014, the Avtoframos plant installed regular tires tires size 185/65/15. It is this size that is considered to be "native" for Stepway-1 and it is recommended to use it on a car. Finding wheels of this size is not difficult - they are on sale everywhere.

As for the “non-native” tire sizes on the Stepway, which can be safely put on regular disks, then their range is not too wide.

The most ideal "out of stock" tire size for a first Stepway is 195/65/15. This size can be stretched without any problems. native drive. You can buy it and feel free to install it. The same applies to the size 195/60/15.

Also, tires 195/70/15 will fit on the native wheels of the first Stepan.

Some motorists go to experiments and put wheels of size 200 and above on the Stepway. For example, 205/65/15. In principle, such tires can be put on "Stepan". Although, it seems to us that there is not much point in using such wheels on the first Stepway. Firstly, it is an order of magnitude more expensive, and secondly, significant deviations from the standard tire size are always a “pig in a poke”. And the greater the deviation, the more risk fuck serious problems with a car. However, it's up to you, of course...

The same goes for wheels and tires with a radius of 16. Many motorists put them on the Stepway-I for the sake of appearance. On the Internet, we came across instances on which their owners put tires 205/65/16. We highly recommend not to conduct such experiments.

Well, we finished with the first series, now we are smoothly moving on to the second generation Stepways. These wonderful cars from the factory are equipped with tires that are already larger - the 16th radius. The native wheel size for the second Stepway is 205/55/16.

Without any problems, tires 205/60/16, 205/55/16, 195/55/16 are installed on the second Stepway.

As for the options with the installation of rubber bigger size, we have already mentioned this above. The main message here is that you conduct all experiments at your own peril and risk. For example, on the Internet, the owners of the Stepways, who tried to put wheels with a size of 215/65/16 on their native wheels, reported that they had failed - the wheel rubbed against the arch when the steering wheel was unscrewed. Therefore, friends, be prudent when choosing rubber and do not engage in perversions. Your car won't appreciate it.

But as for the rubber of a smaller radius, then it is quite possible to put it on the Stepway II. For example, tires 195/65/15, 205/60/15, 205/65/15 are well suited to the second "Stepan". But does it make sense?

Size 16 wheels on the Stepway-II look more solid than size 15 wheels on its predecessor. In the large arches of the Stepway, the wheels of the 15th radius are simply lost and do not look very presentable. This is especially true of the huge rear arch. On the second generation of Stepways, this is already better, although rear arch there is also a big one.

In general, the flight of thought among our car owners is very wide and many steppe growers conduct risky experiments, trying to pull on stepway tires more suitable for SUVs.

In any case, if you decide to put rubber on your Stepway, which is very different in its parameters from the standard one, we advise you to measure it seven times first, that is, think carefully, weigh the pros and cons, discuss the issue with your “colleagues” on specialized sites and forums, and only then go to the store for tires.

Concluding our today's conversation about tires for Stepway, I would like to say that after all best size tires are native, i.e., recommended by the manufacturer. Well, or at least minimally different from the native.

That's all, good luck on the road and don't forget to share your tire installation experience in the comments to the article various sizes on the Stepway.
