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

I just bought a Kia Rio and I want to make sure I am maintaining proper tire pressure to ensure safety and fuel efficiency. What is the recommended tire pressure for this car, and how do I accurately check and adjust it?

To determine the recommended tire pressure for your Kia Rio, refer to the owner's manual or the label inside the driver's side door. Be sure to check the pressure when the tires are cold and inflate or deflate accordingly.

I suggest investing in a tire pressure gauge to accurately check the pressure. Simply remove the valve cap, place the gauge onto the valve stem, and note the reading. Add or release air as needed.

Don't rely on the tire pressure monitor system (TPMS) as it can be inaccurate. It's important to physically check the pressure regularly to ensure proper inflation.
