Why is it so important for your Lincoln tire pressure to be a particular number when you're just running errands and commuting in Macon and Dublin? Is it that important? Absolutely! Your Lincoln tire pressure impacts how your Lincoln drives. When you're driving with the correct tire pressure, you'll get more even wear on your tires and better fuel economy. If you're driving with the wrong Lincoln tire pressure, you can wind up with uneven wear that leads to having to replace tires sooner. In the worst case, you can suffer a flat or even a blowout. Avoid these problems by knowing what your Lincoln tire pressure is and making sure that number is where it should be. The service department at Five Star Lincoln can help!
<h2>What's My Lincoln Tire Pressure?
If you're asking what your Lincoln tire pressure should be, you're asking how many pounds of pressure per square inch of air should be in your tires. To find your Lincoln's tire pressure, use a small tire pressure gauge. This tool is inexpensive and roughly the size of an ink pen, but it's effective in showing you your Lincoln tire pressure. Here's what your tire pressure should be, depending on your Lincoln model:
- Lincoln Aviator Tire Pressure: 32-42 psi
- Lincoln Corsair Tire Pressure: 32 psi
- Lincoln Nautilus Tire Pressure: 33-36 psi
- Lincoln Navigator Tire Pressure: 35-39 psi
If it's a bit chilly in Macon, your tire pressure measurement might be on the low side, while hot days can increase the pressure. You can adjust the air pressure by letting out some of the air. If you need to increase the psi by just a couple of numbers, you can even use a bicycle tire pump to do the job.
How to Reset a Tire Pressure Sensor in a Lincoln
New Lincoln vehicles are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system that will alert you if your tire pressure drops below its recommended level. Sometimes, you can add air to that tire, but it won't trigger the light to turn off. Here's how to reset a tire pressure sensor in a Lincoln:
- Inflate all tires to the recommended psi.
- Check the dashboard warning light. It should be off.
- If the dashboard light isn't off, drive your car over 20 mph for at least two minutes. This should trigger the tire pressure sensor to take a new reading and realize you're Lincoln tire pressure is back where it should be.
- If the light is still on, add five psi more than the highest recommended number to each tire. Drive for at least 10 minutes, then park your car and wait a few hours. If the light's off at that point, reduce the air in the tires back to the factory-recommended numbers.
