Omoda tyre pressures

The Omoda C5 recently burst onto the SA automotive scene and immediately set the cat among the pigeons. The C5 is a stylish and technologically well-equipped machine that has a keen price and enters a highly competitive market segment.

Amongst the tech features the Omoda has as standard, is a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) that will give a visual and audible alert if one or more of your tyres are going flat. If you do indeed receive said alert you will need to head to your nearest garage and reinflate or check for a puncture. If you reinflate you may not know what the recommended tyre pressure is, and we can help with that.

Under pressure

The Omoda C5's tyre pressure is 2.4 - 2.5 Bar. You can find this information in the owner's manual or on the data sticker placed on the driver's door jamb. We highly recommend obtaining a standalone tyre gauge as the gauges at your local fuel station may not be accurate.
