Solution

1. Preparation

Gather the necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, and TPMS reset tool (if required).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and that the tires are cool.

2. Check Tire Pressure

Remove the valve stem cap from each tire.
Press the tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem to get a reading.
Record the pressure for all four tires and compare them to the recommended pressure.

3. Inflate Tires

If any tire is below the recommended pressure, attach the air compressor nozzle to the valve stem.
Inflate the tire gradually, checking the pressure with the tire pressure gauge frequently to avoid over-inflation.
Once the correct pressure is reached, replace the valve stem cap securely.

4. Reset TPMS (if applicable)

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes to complete the reset process.
