If you have a car, you must take care of its quality and durability, in particular, check, what is the pressure in her wheels. For Chevrolet Cruze, "Captiva", Lanos or Lacetti are also relevant.
Checking the level of inflation of car tires allows:
- reduce the amount of carbon dioxide, which is released into the environment while driving;
- save a lot of fuel;
- save tires from rapid wear;
- ensure safety while driving.
Regulatory pressure in Chevrolet Captiva tires
In accordance, if you do not take into account the condition of the tires on the "Chevrolet Captiva", Aveo or Cruise, you risk spending more on fuel and buying tires more often. Improper pressure in the rubber can provoke its rapid deformation and puncture.
It is for these reasons and should make it a habit to check the condition of the wheels of the car at least once 30 days. These simple steps will save you money, taking care of health and life.
Verification of indicators
To check, is the right tire pressure for your Chevrolet Captiva or Lanos, You need:
- mechanical pump or compressor;
- pressure gauge.
It is better to take these devices for a long time and do not spare money on them - this procedure will be performed by you quite often.
Compressor with pressure gauge for pumping tires
It is better to make measurements on the cooled rubber (after driving the distance to 2 km). This will allow you to get the most accurate data, because the rubber will not have time to heat the air.
You will also need to arm yourself with instructions, where the manufacturer of "Lanos" or "Aveo" specifies the standard value of pressure.
There are basic rules for setting this normative value:
- the heavier your car, the higher the pressure should be;
- different indicators can be observed in the rear and front wheels - this is normal.

You will have to take this information as a basis and be equal only to it - before the release of "Aveo" or "Lacetti" in serial production at the factory is a thorough testing of the characteristics of the car with different indicators of tire inflation, which guarantees the provision of accurate data, which provide the most comfortable ride.

Once you have looked at the normal value, you can start directly to measure a similar indicator "Aveo", Cruise or other Chevrolet models. Follow these steps::
- unscrew the cap from the tire nipple. It is easy to find, since it is on the surface of the rim and is easily detected during inspection;
- use a pressure gauge to do so, to measure the pressure in the wheels. When measuring the air should not "poison", as this contributes to the inaccuracy of the data obtained. When using an electronic manometer type, read its instructions;
- compare, whether the received values of the standard correspond. If they are not equal, then you will need to either pump up, or lower the wheels. To get the air out, you need to press the valve. After completing the measurements, tighten the cap located on the nipple - it will protect the product from dirt.
Regulatory pressure in Chevrolet Cruze tires
As for the normative value of tire inflation for Cruz, then the manufacturer indicates in the instructions, that the optimal value is an indicator 2,2 atm. However, for fuel economy mode it is more rational to use inflated rubber to 2,7 atm. Among the advantages of this value (2,2 atm) drivers indicate the softness of the car while driving. Pump mode to 2,7 atm many criticize, despite its economy, as the car becomes similar to "zhivchik", what, certainly, cushions the impact of an accident, but not very convenient in everyday life. As a result, many model drivers inflate the tires 2.4 atm.
Rating of reliability of cars by brands
Regulatory tire pressure on the Chevrolet Aveo
Also in the manual for the car model is indicated, that the figures must be the same on the rear and front tires.
If you compare the performance of this model, example, Aveo or Lanos, then in "Aveo" this figure differs depending on the year of manufacture and is from 2,1 to 2,5 atm. At "Lanos" the situation is similar to Cruze - normal indicators for rubber make 2,2 atm.

Recommendations
Follow these tips, to extend the life of your wheels:
- measure before driving, especially over long distances;
- do not check the wheels after a long ride or a long stay in the scorching sun - heated air distorts the readings;
- when the optimal value is exceeded, specified in the instructions for the car, you will be able to reduce fuel consumption and gain better control of the vehicle. Try several pumping modes;
- if you exceed the specified maximum pressure, it will not lead to anything good;
- do not perform measurements without a special device, "By eye". Only a manometer can give accurate results;
- if you travel long distances in Lacetta or Captiva or carry heavy loads in Captiva, inflate the tires to provide a compensating effect.
