Checking tire pressure manually
To determine and set the correct tire pressure, proceed as follows:
Remove the valve cap of the tire that is to
be checked.
Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
Read the tire pressure and compare it with
the recommended value on the Tire and
Loading Information placard on the
B-pillar on the driver's side of your vehicle.
If necessary, increase the tire pressure to
the recommended value.
If the tire pressure is too high, release air
by pressing down the metal pin in the valve
using the tip of a pen, for example. Then
check the tire pressure again using the tire
pressure gauge.
Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
Repeat these steps for the other tires.
