How do I check my tire pressure on my Kia Rio?

I recently bought a Kia Rio and I want to make sure my tire pressure is at the correct level. How can I check this myself? Do I need any special tools?

Checking your tire pressure is an important part of car maintenance, and luckily it's very easy to do. You will need a tire pressure gauge, which you can purchase at any auto supply store or even at some gas stations.

To check your tire pressure, first make sure your car is on a flat surface and the tires are cool. Then, unscrew the valve cap on one of your tires and insert the tire pressure gauge. The gauge will display the current pressure in your tire.

Compare the pressure on the gauge to the recommended level listed in your owner's manual or on a sticker inside your driver's side door. If the pressure is too low, you can use an air pump at a gas station to fill it up. Just remember to recheck the pressure when you're done.
