Porsche 911 Carrera "tire inspection required" warning display

Winter tradition, temperature drops, tire pressure drops, error display

On this day, I left for Porsche 911 Carrera by myself after 6 am. I ran happily and went out in the dark, saying, "It's great that there aren't many cars running in Tokyo yet!"

At the destination, although it was indoors with a roof, I was parked for about two and a half hours in a parking lot where the wind from the outside normally came in.

After finishing my errands, I headed to the parking lot exit slowly to go home.

Let's get out of the parking lot and drive back comfortably with Carrera! The moment I accelerated thinking.

Oh.

Of the five Porsche 911 meters, the second instrument from the right glowed red! !! !! There is also a yellow error mark (warning display) on the left side.

When I get an error like this, I'm already thrilled.

When I hurriedly looked at "What, what happened! What happened, Mr. Carrera!", The error content was "Tire inspection required".

The front right tire is red with the indication "-0.2".

If you switch the screen from the error display and switch to the screen to check the tire pressure, the tire pressure in the front right is "1.6".

Low!

Normally, when using my Porsche 911, I think that the manufacturer's recommended value was about 2.0 for the front and 2.4 to 2.5 for the rear, but I dared to lower the air pressure a little when it was hot in the summer.

Even so, even though the temperature was getting colder in winter, it came without any air.

Oh, that's my problem. Reflection. I'm sorry, Carrera. All four tires are too low ...

Tire pressure warning is issued in winter ...

Actually, this is the second time I have issued this error.

My Carrera was delivered in the cold season of the beginning of 2017, but at this time I had the air pressure checked again immediately after delivery, so I started from the perfect air pressure. Therefore, of course, overwintering without errors.

And in the winter of 2018, I experienced this "tire pressure error caused by cold weather" for the first time. At that time, the moment the error message appeared, I was in a hurry and I remember contacting the sales person immediately.

"Is it a flat tire ?? Is it okay to run as it is? Should I stop soon?"

And it seems that he brought a car to the Porsche Center in a hurry. Then, the salesman calmly said, "It's a winter tradition, and there are many people who do that at this time of year." It was.

Having experienced that, I'm already used to the same "tire pressure error" this year, that is, the year after the previous error (winter 2019 ... January, so it's 2020). So, it is calm.

While saying that, immediately after seeing the error display, the salesman said, "It was an error !! I think it's because it's getting cold again. I think it's okay .... Isn't it okay?" It was a secret that I contacted him again in a hurry ^^

Injecting Porsche 911 Carrera tires at a gas station

For the time being, when I ran as it was and returned home after an error occurred, the error display disappeared when the tires warmed up due to running, and the air pressure did not decrease as it was, so the pressure due to the decrease in temperature Self-judgment that it will be a change.

That night, my favorite gas station was already closed, so I hurriedly asked my husband to inflate the tires at the self-service gas station.

After all, I was scared, so I wanted to inflate the air as soon as possible.

Haha ~. There was something like this at the gas station ↓

The one that can inflate the tire. Moreover, it is portable and portable. Convenient ~. I'm sorry, I've never seen this before. How ignorant you are.

I've seen a type with an air cord (?) Connected at Tsukuba Circuit or other gas stations before, but did you see such a portable type for the first time?

You can see how we have lived by relying on people (Porsche Center) for cars. Last time, it was the Porsche Center that adjusted the air pressure.

I wanted to be able to do this kind of thing myself, but after all I had my husband do it this time too ^ ^

Push ~.

It's amazing, I can say whatever I like because I'm just looking at it, but it's really easy to get in.

The air pressure is displayed on the instrument of the portable inflating machine, so adjust it to the specified value (recommended value) while watching it. Hmm, easy (← just looking (laughs)).

While having all four tires adjusted, I add petrol and look at Carrera after it's done.

Oh, nice. The gas station looks good too. Cute, cute Carrera.

While I was fascinated by it, my husband gave me a perfect air. Thank you ^^

Ask them to set the front to 2.0 and the rear to 2.4, and then check if the air pressure is released even if they run (the cause of the error display is that the nail is actually stuck, is it a flat tire, etc.) Therefore, I left the gas station, ran a little, and checked the tire pressure again.

Oh ~. Perfect.

After running, the pressure increased a little and it became "2.1 at the front and 2.5 at the rear". Good vibes! ... isn't it?

After this, I also tried running at higher speeds, but as it was, the air pressure did not drop and no error occurred, so in conclusion again this time, "Error due to the temperature drop in winter" I think it was "display".

Ah, it was good.

I'd like to learn properly next winter, and when the temperature drops, I'd like to adjust the air pressure properly before an error occurs. While saying that, it seems that I should forget about it and learn ... ^^

Maybe next winter I will contact the sales person saying "I got an error again !! What should I do! Is this okay?" Well, that's also a (my) winter tradition (laughs).

Beginning of manual car driving in 2020

After adjusting the tire pressure of the Porsche 911 Carrera and then running for a while to see if it was OK, suddenly, I switched to my husband's Fairlady Z for the first time in a while.

Really, it's been a while since I drove the Z. But I also want to start driving a manual car in 2020! So, it's been a while since I started manual driving (my Fairlady Z is an MT car).

It was a short distance, but it was fun. After all, if you drive manually, you will miss the manual car and want it ~ ^ ^

Well, the story is off, but this time the tire pressure error.

In my case, it was an error caused by the change in pressure due to the decrease in temperature in winter, but in reality, the cause was that the air was gradually deflated due to the nails being stuck. I think there may be an error or other causes, so please be careful if an error message appears.

Next winter, I would like to aim to avoid the tire pressure error display (due to the low temperature) ^^!
