How do I properly check tire pressure in my Kia Stonic?

I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and I am unsure how to properly check my tire pressure. Is there a specific method or tool I should use? Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi Stephanie, checking your tire pressure regularly is an important part of car maintenance. To ensure accuracy, it's best to use a tire pressure gauge. Simply remove the cap from your tire valve, place the gauge on the valve and read the pressure. Make sure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure listed in your owner's manual.

Stephanie, it's also important to check your tire pressure when tires are cold, meaning the car has not been driven for at least 3 hours. This will give you the most accurate reading. Don't forget to check your spare tire as well!

In addition to using a tire pressure gauge, some Kia Stonic models may have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) which will alert you when your tire pressure is low. Keep an eye out for this warning light on your dashboard.
