Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Gather necessary tools, including a digital tire pressure gauge.

2. Inflate Tires

Sub-steps:
1. Use the digital tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
2. If any tire is below the recommended level, use an air compressor to inflate it to the proper pressure (typically found on the driver’s door jamb).
3. Repeat for all four tires.
