How do I check the tire pressure on my Kia Stonic?

I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and I'm not sure how to check the tire pressure. Can I do it myself or do I need to take it to a mechanic?

Hi Hannah, checking your tire pressure is an important maintenance task that you can easily do yourself. All you need is a tire pressure gauge and a tire inflator if your tires need air. Simply unscrew the valve stem cap and place the gauge over the valve stem. The gauge will provide a reading of your tire pressure. If the pressure is too low, use the inflator to add air until it reaches the recommended pressure level.

Hi Hannah, you can also check your tire pressure at any gas station. Most gas stations have a free air pump where you can inflate your tires. Remember to check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips to ensure optimal performance and safety.
