Kilopascals show up on some Asian stickers and ISO sheets. 276 kPa front and 379 kPa rear is the Renault Kangoo Z.E. midpoint (100 kPa = 1 bar). TPMS typically warns near 30 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.
kPa, bar and PSI
kPa-led conversions. 220 kPa is 2.2 bar and about 32 psi — handy if this Kangoo Z.E. sticker uses SI units.
| kPa | Bar | PSI |
|---|---|---|
| 241 | 2.41 | 35 |
| 248 | 2.48 | 36 |
| 262 | 2.62 | 38 |

Estimated pressure by tyre size (235/75R15 and others)
If your Renault Kangoo Z.E. no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 235/75R15 or 275/65R18 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 235/75R15 | 41 | 58 | 2.83 | 4 | 283 | 400 | Older compact truck |
| 275/65R18 | 43 | 61 | 2.96 | 4.21 | 296 | 421 | Plus-size 18-inch |
| 265/70R17 | 43 | 60 | 2.96 | 4.14 | 296 | 414 | Typical 17-inch load tyre |
| 285/70R17 | 44 | 62 | 3.03 | 4.27 | 303 | 427 | Wide all-terrain |
| LT265/70R17 | 48 | 69 | 3.31 | 4.76 | 331 | 476 | LT 17-inch |

Renault Kangoo Z.E. placard versus sidewall
Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this Kangoo Z.E. is the pillar sticker, near 40/55 psi.
Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 40 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Kangoo Z.E..
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 38 psi | 2.62 bar | 262 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 39 psi | 2.69 bar | 269 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 40 psi | 2.76 bar | 276 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 42 psi | 2.9 bar | 290 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 43 psi | 2.96 bar | 296 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
How to set the Kangoo Z.E.
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Kangoo Z.E. numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 40 psi (2.76 bar) front and 55 psi rear.
- If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
- Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.
Load notes
Load moves the rear of a light commercial first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 55 psi / 3.79 bar |
| Full occupancy | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 42 psi / 2.9 bar | 58 psi / 4 bar |
Renault notes
Renault vans (Trafic, Master) live in a commercial band. Clios do not.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Renault Kangoo Z.E. usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 45-65 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.
If the Renault sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Kangoo Z.E.
Should I bleed pressure after a motorway run?
No. Heat raises the gauge. Set cold only. Bleeding a hot tyre leaves it low the next morning.
What tyre pressure should a Renault Kangoo Z.E. use?
Catalogue reference is 35-45 psi front and 45-65 psi rear (2.4-3.1 / 3.1-4.5 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
How often should I check a Kangoo Z.E.?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Renault Kangoo Z.E.?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Kangoo Z.E. placard is the operating target, near 35-45/45-65 psi.
What is that in bar and kPa for the Kangoo Z.E.?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
