How do I check my Kia Niro's tire pressure?

I recently purchased a Kia Niro and I want to make sure my tire pressure is at the correct level. Can you provide some guidance on how to check and adjust my tire pressure?

First, make sure you have a tire pressure gauge. Remove the plastic cap on the tire valve stem and insert the gauge. The gauge should immediately display the current pressure. Compare this to the recommended pressure listed in your vehicle's manual or on the sticker inside the driver's side door. Use a tire pump to add or release air as needed.

If you don't have a tire pressure gauge, you can also use the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in your Kia Niro. This system will alert you when your tire pressure is too low. However, it is still recommended to manually check your pressure for accuracy.

Maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial for not only safety but also fuel efficiency. You should aim to check your tire pressure at least once a month, and especially before long trips. Don't forget to also check the spare tire!
