Gauges can be found for as low as three dollars for a basic one or more for the better

digital one.

Once you have a tire pressure gauge you may need to check the owner's manual to

obtain the best pressure for your tires.

If you have lost your owner's manual there should be a sticker label on the inside of one

of the doors.

Techniques to Check and Maintain Tire Pressure

Page 18: Maintaining car tire pressure

First off you will need to find your ideal tire pressure for your vehicle, which can be

found in your owner's manual, data stickers, or even on-line.

Page 19: Maintaining car tire pressure

Once you know the appropirate pressure you must make the trip to a nearby service

station and use their air compressor.

The majority of service stations will have one, but if the one you visited did not have

one try the next one.

After that, you must take off rubber covers which are on the wheel stems and now you

are free to connect the air compressor to your tire.

Fill your wheel with air for a couple of minutes and then remove the hose and place

your gauge on the stem to check your pressure.

Perform repeatedly as needed to reach perfect pressure.

As soon as you have performed all 4 wheels you can place the plastic tops back on and

you are all set to go.
