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 .
► The tire pressure is too low: increase the tire pressure to the recommended value.
► The tire pressure is too high: press down the metal pin in the valve using the tip of a pen, for example.
Air is released from the tire.
► Check the tire pressure again with the tire pressure gauge.
► Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
