Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if inflating tires), valve cap remover (if needed)
Ensure the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 hours for accurate measurements.

2. Remove Valve Caps

Unscrew and remove the valve cap from each tire.
Place the caps in a secure location to avoid losing them.

3. Measure Tire Pressure

Press the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve firmly and quickly to get a reading.
Record the pressure displayed on the gauge.

4. Compare and Adjust Pressure

Compare the tire pressure readings with the recommended values (found on the driver's side door jamb).
If the pressure is too low, use an air compressor to inflate the tire to the recommended level.
If the pressure is too high, release some air until the correct pressure is reached.

5. Replace Valve Caps

After adjusting the pressure, securely replace the valve caps on each tire.
