Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: tire pressure gauge, a pen and paper for recording, and the owner’s manual for reference.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.

2. Measure Tire Pressure

Remove Valve Stem Caps:
- Carefully unscrew the valve stem caps from all tires.
Check Pressure:
- Firmly press the tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem of the first tire.
- Read and record the pressure displayed on the gauge.
- Repeat this process for each tire, including the spare.

3. Adjust Tire Pressure (if necessary)

Inflate Tires:
- If the pressure is below the recommended level, use an air compressor to inflate the tire.
- Check the pressure again after adding air to ensure it's at the proper level.
Deflate Tires:
- If the pressure is too high, press the small pin inside the valve stem with a tool or your gauge to release some air until the desired pressure is reached.

4. Replace Valve Stem Caps

Once all tire pressures are checked and adjusted, replace the valve stem caps securely to prevent dirt and moisture from entering.
