Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and a tire repair kit (optional).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cold for accurate pressure readings.
2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
    2. Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in each tire.
    3. Compare the readings with the recommended pressures found on the driver’s side door jamb.
    4. If any tire is below the recommended pressure, inflate it using an air compressor to the appropriate level.
    5. If any tire is over-inflated, release some air until it reaches the desired pressure.
    6. Replace the valve caps securely after adjustments.
3. Inspect Tires for Damage
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Examine each tire for visible punctures, cuts, or bulges.
    2. Check the tread depth using a tread depth gauge; replace tires if tread is worn beyond safe limits (below 2/32 of an inch).
    3. If damage is found, consider repairing or replacing the affected tire.
4. Reset TPMS (if necessary)
  • Sub-steps:
    1. If the warning light remains after adjusting tire pressures, access the vehicle settings via the touchscreen.
    2. Navigate to the 'Service' menu and select 'TPMS reset.'
    3. Follow the prompts to complete the reset process.
