Checking tire pressures 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.
